A. From the mundane perspective, two times five is definitely ten, not seven. However, in the realm of Emptiness, it is said that everything is empty. When everything is seen as empty, it is not real but illusionary like a rabbit-horn.
Then, there is no difference between one rabbit-horn and one thousand rabbit-horns. So, ‘we should know not only that two times five is ten but also that two times five is seven’ implies that we should be able to see things as empty as well.
