Thirty-seventh: The inconceivable dharmas of the Buddha. Question: What are the inconceivable dharmas of the Buddha? Answer: The fruit dharmas of all buddhas are named 'dharmas'; that every single one is free of marks and interfused is 'inconceivable'. Because the pathways of mental activity are extinguished, it cannot be conceived; because the path of speech is cut off, it cannot be discussed; being beyond the reach of mind and speech, it is 'inconceivable'. The sūtra says: 'A bodhisattva abides in this inconceivable; conceiving and discussing within it is without end. Entering this inconceivable place, both thinking and non-thinking are stilled.' Only such as this is named the truly inconceivable. Respectfully answered.
