[1778] P.: "Is it not to be said that emptiness (suññatā) is included in the aggregate of volitional formations (saṅkhārakkhandha)?"
S.: "Yes."
P.: "But was it not said by the Blessed One: 'Bhikkhus, these volitional formations are empty of self or of what belongs to self' — and does such a sutta indeed exist?"
S.: "Yes."
P.: "If so, then emptiness is included in the aggregate of volitional formations."
