Jingang Jing (The Diamond Sutra) Complete in one volume "All marks that exist are empty and false" — a sutra that teaches one to give rise to the mind without dwelling anywhere. It follows, just as they stand, the thirty-two sections into which Prince Zhaoming divided it. It is told that Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch, heard one line of this sutra and set his heart on awakening.
1Has the Tathagata Attained Anything?
「須菩提！於意云何？如來得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提耶？如來有所說法耶？」
"Subhuti! What do you think? Has the Tathagata attained anuttara-samyak-sambodhi? Is there a Dharma the Tathagata has spoken?"
Interlinear notes 1
空則無得，寂則無說
Being empty, there is nothing to attain; being still, there is nothing to speak.
Subhuti said, "As I understand the meaning of what the Buddha has said, there is no fixed dharma that can be named 'anuttara-samyak-sambodhi,' and no fixed dharma the Tathagata could speak. Why is this? Because the Dharma the Tathagata speaks can neither be grasped nor spoken; it is neither dharma nor non-dharma. And how is that so? Because all the worthy ones and the sages are set apart by the unconditioned dharma (無爲法)."
