This Week's Quote




The Lord continued: 'what do you think, Subhuti, can the Tathagata be seen
by the possession of his marks?'
Subhuti replied: 'No indeed, O Lord. And why? What has been taught by the Tathagata as
the possession of marks, that is truly a no-possession of no-marks.'
The Lord said: 'Wherever there is possession of marks, there is fraud,
wherever there is no-possession of no-marks there is no fraud.
Hence the Tathagata is to be seen from no-marks as marks.'

From: Buddhist Wisdom Books...page 28...by Edward Conze.
