Diamond Sutra - Chapter III "The Venerable Buddha spoke."
Buddha asked:
"WHAT DO YOU THINK, DISCIPLE, IS THERE ANY DHARMA (LAW OR TEACHING, OR EVEN BASIC PART OF THE WORLD, E.G., NIRVANA) THAT I TEACH?"
THE DISCIPLE REPLIED, "THE BUDDHA HAS NOTHING TO TEACH, FROM-THE-WORLD-WORSHIPPER."
WHY DID THE HISTORICAL BUDDHA ASK HIS DISCIPLE THIS QUESTION?
BECAUSE EMPTY IS FORM, AND FORM IS EMPTY.
WHEN A DHARMA LECTURE WAS GIVEN, IT REALLY MEANS THAT THERE WAS NO LECTURE. THE TRUTH CANNOT BE GRASPED, NOR CAN IT BE EXPRESSED.
NEITHER DOES IT EXIST, NOR DOES IT NOT EXIST!
THIS IS THE PRINCIPLE OF ALL WISDOM
