| English | All dharmas, whose opening is through the letter 'a', are free from death and birth. All dharmas open through non-being, owing to their emptiness of inherent nature.8Reference to the Tantric theory that the letter ‘a’ is implicit in all phenomena in virtue of the fact that a) it is the first letter of the alphabet and b) it is the vowel inherent in all Sanskrit consonants. As this letter is also the prefix of negation, the implication is that all objects denoted by words are ultimately unreal, non-originated. |
