If I myself possess the Dharma, then feelings will have attachments; if feelings have attachments, disputation and chaos will surely arise. If one says 'I have heard,' then I do not possess the Dharma, and thus have no attachments; gain and loss, right and wrong, revert to what was heard. Since I have no attachments and the other has no contention, with neither attachment nor contention, from where could disputes arise? Furthermore, it is said that there are two kinds of attachment: first, sensual attachment; second, attachment to dharmas. Renunciants of non-Buddhist paths can sever sensual attachment, but cannot sever attachment to dharmas; therefore, their feelings have attachments. Disciples of the Buddha eliminate both attachments; attachment to dharmas having ended, attachment and contention both cease. The beginning of the sūtra stating 'I have heard' resides in this. > \[Seng\]zhao says: The transmitter of the sūtra clarifies that he personally received the holy intention, without any error of hearsay. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.15) - [Next: 1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.17) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.1.16) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.11) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.1.16) · Pramāṇa
