I still have a problem with "That which ... is nothing". The Tibetan "gar"

different from "nothing".

The "nothing" correctly corresponds to the Tibetan "cung-zad min" (na 
ki~ncit), not "gar [med-pa]" (kvacit).  I see no problem with the 
translations from Sanskrit or Tibetan that have bee offered -- though the 
Guenter version misses out a line from the Tibetan and so has limited value.
