“Oh good man! For example,
there is a situation where we get visual consciousness through the harmonious combination of eyes,
color, light and thought. Oh good man! The eye does not think: ‘I shall cause consciousness
to arise’. From color,
down to thought, never says: ‘I shall cause visual consciousness
to arise’. Neither consciousness says: ‘I shall arise by myself.' Oh good man! Such a harmonization of the causal relations of
the laws [i.e., of dharmas] is drsti [vision].
Oh good man! It is the same with
the Tathagata. Through the harmonious combination of the causal relations of
the six paramitas, we obtain drsti. Oh good man! It's the same with the
Tathagata. He searches the depths of all things by means of the six paramitas and 37 elements concerning the Enlightenment. Also, we call it the turning
of the Wheel of Dharma, as he (the Tathagata), using
the throat, tongue, teeth, lips and mouth, and through speech and voice, speaks
of Dharma to Kaundinya and others. That is why we do not say that the Tathagata
turns the Wheel of Dharma. Oh good man! What is not
turned is Dharma, Dharma is the Tathagata. Oh good man! Through the use of flint,
by means of friction, by means of use of the hands, and through using autumnal dried grass, we obtain fire. But the
flint does not say: ‘I shall cause fire to arise’. Friction, hands and dried grass also do not think: 'I made the
fire to arise’. Neither the fire says: 'I shall come by myself’. It is the same
with the Tathagata. Through the six paramitas, down to speaking to Kaundinya, there occurs the turning of the Wheel of Dharma. But the
Tathagata, too, does not think and say: 'I turn the Wheel of Dharma'. Oh good
man! We speak of 'non-emergence' [non-arising, non-acting]. This is the right turn of the Wheel of Dharma. This turning of the
Wheel of Dharma is the Tathagata.
Oh good man! Turning the Wheel of Dharma is what takes place in the world of the All-Buddha-World-Honored-One. It is not something that can be known by Sravakas and Pratyekabuddhas. Oh good man! The space is no being-born, is not arisen, not done, not built, nor what is created. It is the same with the Tathagata. He is no being-born, or arisen, or built, nor what has been created. Like unto the nature of the Tathagata, is the Buddha-Nature. It is not a being-born, or arisen, or built, nor what has been created.”
