Note on the transliteration:
The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).
 
Important:
We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

tatredam ucyate -
sarvabhāvo ’svabhāvo hi sadvacanaṃ tathāpy asat |
śūnyatāśūnyatārthaṃ vā bālo ’paśyan vidhāvati || 2.145 || 
爾時，世尊欲重宣此義而說偈言：
(17)「諸性無自性， 亦復無言說，
(18)甚深空空義， 愚夫不能了。 
.

§XXXIV
Thus it is said:
145 In all things there is no self-nature, words too are devoid of reality; as the ignorant understand not what is meant by emptiness, yes, by emptiness, they wander about. 
sarvabhāvasvabhāvā ca vacanam api nṛṇām |
kalpanā sāpi nāsti nirvāṇaṃ svapnatulyam |
bhavaṃ parīkṣeta na saṃsāre nāpi nirvāyāt || 2.146 || 
(19)一切性自性， 言說法如影， 
. 
. 
. 
. 
146 In all things there is no self-nature, they are mere words of people; that which is discriminated has no reality; [even] Nirvāṇa is like a dream; nothing is seen to be in transmigration, nor does anything ever enter into Nirvāṇa. 
rājā śreṣṭhī yathā putrān vicitrair mṛnmayair mṛgaiḥ |
pralobhya krīḍayitvā ca bhūtān dadyāt tato mṛgān || 2.147 || 
 
. 
. 
. 
. 
147 As a king or a wealthy householder, giving his children various clay-made animals, pleases them and makes them play [with the toys], but later gives them real ones; 
tathāhaṃ lakṣaṇaiś citrair dharmāṇāṃ pratibimbakaiḥ |
pratyātmavedyāṃ putrebhyo bhūtakoṭiṃ vadāmy aham || 2.148 || 
(20)自覺聖智子， 實際我所說。」 
. 
. 
. 
. 
148 So, I, making use of various forms and images of things, instruct my sons; but the limit of reality (bhutakoti) can [only] be realised within oneself.
