Words and Truth


[The Buddha said,]

Whatever exists has no self-existence
the same is true of words
the profound truth of the emptiness of emptiness
is something fools don't know

The self-existence of what exists
and the words I teach are like shadows
to those who realize buddha knowledge themselves
I teach ultimate reality.

---The Lankavatara Sutra---
