| English | It is this seeing of ultimate truth which itself is called the Mahāyāna. The seeing of ultimate truth is itself a non-seeing—which occurs when someone who observes all dharmas with the eye of wisdom has a vision based on correct knowledge. And thus it is said in the sūtra, “What is the seeing of the ultimate truth? It is the non-seeing of all dharmas.” Here it is just this kind of non-seeing that is intended, not the non-seeing which is from lacking a condition—as with those who are blind by birth or whose eyes are closed, or which is based on a lack of attention. For on such a basis there can be no relinquishment of the misguided inclination towards attachment to entities. Because of the arising of a multitude of defilements i.e. passion and so forth, which are rooted in attachment to entities, a yogin would remain truly unliberated—just as in the case of one emerging from a condition like the 'unconscious state of attainment.' The passions and so forth, rooted in attachment to entities, are described in the noble Satyadvayanirdeśa and elsewhere. |
