Wisdom


"Tenth, his wisdom is perfect. By Wisdom is meant seeing the so-called Tathagata, the Eternal, Bliss, the Self, the Pure, and the fact that all beings possess the Buddha Nature. He sees the two phases of things, which are: Void versus non-Void, Eternal versus non-Eternal, Bliss versus non-Bliss, the Self versus not-Self, what is possible or not possible for crushing out the proposition of dissimilarity ['vaidharmya-drstanta'], the coming about or seeing of dissimilarity that arises out from the causal relations, and the fruition of dissimilarity that arises out from the non-causal relations or non-causality. This is what we call perfection of Wisdom.

Oh, good man! This is how we say that when the Bodhisattva is perfect in these ten things, he can clearly see the formlessness of Nirvana. "
