- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
- The sutra
- And why?
- Because, Subhuti, in these bodhisattvas
- No perception of a self takes place,
- No perception of a being,
- No perception of a soul,
- No perception of a person.
- Nor do these bodhisattvas have
- A perception of a dhamma
- A perception of a no-dhamma or
- No perception or
- Non-perception takes place in them.
- And why?
- If, Subhuti, these bodhisattvas,
- Should have a perception of either a dhamma,
- Or a no-dhamma,
- They would thereby seize on a self,
- On a being, on a soul, on a person.
- And why?
- Because a bodhisattva should not seize
- On either a dhamma or a no-dhamma.
- Therefore this saying has been taught by the Tathagata
- With a hidden meaning:
- "By those who know the discourse on dhamma
- As like unto a raft,
- Dhammas should be forsaken,
- Still more so, no-dhammas."'
- The lord asked:
- 'What do you think, Subhuti,
- Is there any dhamma which
- The Tathagata has fully known as
- "The utmost, right and perfect enlightenment",
- Or is there any dhamma which
- The Tathagata has demonstrated?'
- Subhuti replied: 'No, not as I understand
- What the lord has said.
- And why?
- This dhamma which the Tathagata
- Has fully known or demonstrated --
- It cannot be grasped,
- It cannot be talked about,
- It is neither a dhamma nor a no-dhamma.
- And why?
- Because an absolute
- Exalts the holy persons.
