The Sunyatayana Of Samantabhadra
The Way Of Voidness Of The Primordial
Ultimateless
| The suchness which is written here has never really been written, nor has it ever needed to be written, spoken, known or thought of. Suchness is more immanent than the most primordial, beyond all implications of absolute ultimate transcendence, yet it is unexceptionally ordinary. Suchness is such that high indifference and complete absorption are equally void. Suchness is such that oneness and allness are equally void. Suchness is such that multiplicity, duality and nonduality are equally void. Suchness is such that nothing is knowledge or ignorance, consciousness or unconsciousness. Suchness is such that there is no one to be and not be. Suchness is such that enlightenment, endarkenment, dreaming and awake are equally void. Suchness is such that there is no teaching to teach anyone. Suchness is such that everyone and everything is now, has always been and always will be the primordial ultimateless void. Suchness is such that there is nothing else nor has there been nothing else nor will there be nothing else. Space is nothing; time is nothing; infinity is nothing; eternity is nothing; endlessness is nothing; identity is nothing. There's no one to ask or question, nothing to ask or question about. Nothing is stated that everyone understands. Suchness is such that individuality and wholeness are equally void. Suchness is such that isness and nothingness are equally void. Suchness is such that unbroken continuity and total disruption - perfect order and utter chaos, are equally void. Suchness is such that all beginnings, midpoints and endings are equally void. Suchness is such that all potentiality, actuality and being are equally void. Suchness is such that once and only once - absolutely unique, and eternally recurring - indistinguishably homogenous, are equally void. The absolute is nothing; the relative is nothing; beyond is nothing. No matter how degraded or exalted, abominable or ineffable, nothing is. No matter how meaningless, nothing means everything; no matter how meaningful, everything means nothing. Suchness is such that voidness is void of voidness. Suchness is such that however or whatever it takes to make the perfection of perfectionlessness so, it is so now; as is, in everything, in everyone, in nothing, in no one, no matter what appears to be or not be; it never has been nor will be otherwise. |
