Subhuti,what do you think? Let no one say the Tathagata cherishes the idea: I must liberate all living beings. Allow no such thought,Subhuti. Wherefore? Because in reality there are no living beings to be liberated by the Tathagata. If there were living beings for the Tathagata to liberate, He would partake in the idea of selfhood,personality entity,and separate individuality. Subhuti, though t..

Then Subhuti asked Buddha: World-honoured One,in the attainment of the Consummation of Incomparable Enlightenment did Buddha make no acquisition whatsoever? Buddha replied : Just so,Subhuti. Through the Consummation of Incomparable Enlightenment I acquired not even the least thing; wherefore it is called "Consummation of Incomparable Enlightenment". "세존이시여!부처게서 성취하신 ..

Subhuti,do not say that the Tathagata conceives the idea: I must set forth a Teaching. For if anyone says that the Tathagata sets forth a Teaching he really slanders Buddha and is unable to explain what I teach. As to any Truth-declaring system,Truth is undeclarable; so "an enunciation of Truth" is just the name given to it. Thereupon,Subhuti spoke these words to Buddha: World-honoured One,in t..

Subhuti,what do you think? Can the Buddha be perceived by His perfectly-formed body? No,World-honoured One,the Tathagata cannot be perceived by His perfectly-formed body,because the Tathagata teaches that a perfectly-formed body is not really such; it is merely called "a perfectly formed body". Subhuti,what do you think? Can the Tathagata be perceived by means of any phenomenal characteristic? ..

Subhuti,what do you think? If anyone filled three thousand galaxies of worlds with the seven treasures and gave all away in gifts of alms,would he gain great merit? Yes,indeed,World-honoured One,he would gain great merit! Subhuti,if such merit was Real,the Tathagata would not have declared it to be great,but because it is without a foundation the Tathagata characterised it as "great". "수보..

Subhuti,what do you think? Does the Tathagata possess the human eye? Yes,World-honoured One,He does. Well,do you think the Tathagata possesses the divine eye? Yes,World-honoured One,He does. And do you think the Tathagata possesses the gnostic eye? Yes,World-honoured One,He does. And do you think the Tathagata possesses the eye of transcendent wisdom ? Yes,World-honoured One,He does. And do you..

At that time Subhuti addressed Buddha,saying: World-honoured One,if good men and good women seek the Consummation of Incomparable Enlightenment,by what criteria should they abide and how should they control their thoughts? Buddha replied to Subhuti: Good men and good women seeking the Consummation of Incomparable Enlightenment must create this resolved attitude of mind: I must liberate all livi..

Furthermore,Subhuti,if it be that good men and good women,who receive and retain this Discourse,are downtrodden,their evil destiny is the inevitable retributive result of sins committed in their past mortal lives. By virtue of their present misfortunes the reacting effects of their past will be thereby worked out,and they will be in a position to attain the Consummation of Incomparable Enlighte..

Subhuti,if on the one hand,a good man or a good woman performs in the morning as many charitable acts of self-denial as the sand-grains of the Ganges,and performs as many again in the noonday and as many again in the evening,and continues so doing throughout numberless ages,and,on the other hand,anyone listens to this Discourse with heart of faith and without contention,the latter would be the ..

Upon the occasion of hearing this Discourse Subhuti had an interior realization of its meaning and was moved to tears. Whereupon he addressed Buddha thus: It is a most precious thing, World-honoured One,that you should deliver this supremely profound Discours. Never have I heard such an exposition since of old my eye of wisdom first opened. World-honoured One,if anyone listens to this Discourse..
