Question: Bodhi lies in the future limit; why is it without location? Answer: Looking toward bodhi from the perspective of an ordinary person, bodhi lies in the future; if discussed according to the real nature of bodhi, outside of its essence there is no ordinary person. Since there is no ordinary person of birth and death present here, how could one speak of bodhi as being there? Therefore it has no abiding place. Because it has no location, there is no place to cultivate or realize it, and hence there is no attainment.
