80.8

Regarding the commentary’s statement, “The designation ‘tathāgatatā’ (tathatā) contains both doctrine and simile in its phrasing”: the sūtra says, “Just as tathatā is unarisen in the past limit,” and so forth; that is taking tathatā as a simile for the Buddha’s practice. If the Buddha’s practice tallies with tathatā, the practice is itself tathatā, and therefore it is the doctrine.
