The Mahayana


The Great Vehicle is a matter of vast knowledge and wisdom, skillfully able to establish all teachings. The Supreme Vehicle is a matter of not seeing defiled things to reject, nor seeing pure things to seek, not seeing living beings to liberate, not seeing nirvana to realize, not entertaining the idea of liberating living beings, not entertaining the idea of not liberating living beings: this is called the Supreme Vehicle, and it is also called all-knowledge. It is also called acceptance of nonorigination, and it is also called great prajna, insight or wisdom.

---Hui-neng, in his commentary on the Diamond Sutra---
