The Teaching Does Not Include a Supreme Lord


What the tathagatas [the Buddhas] chiefly teach are the truths of the scriptures, dependent origination, the path, cessation, and liberation. Their teaching does not include a self-existence or a supreme lord or a spontaneous cause or minutes particles or temporal periods or a continuously existing entity.

---The Buddha, in the Lankavatara Sutra---
