Abstract
The term sheng literally means production or origination. It can also refer to making, doing, acting, changing and creating. In this chapter, Nāgārjuna examines the concept of sheng as such and shows that it is an empty term. The function of production, originating, making, doing, acting, changing and creating cannot be established.
