In the Lotus Sūtra, one round of siddhāntas responds to conditions to preach the teaching, which is called 'noble preaching of Dharma'; because the non-arising non-arising is ineffable, it is called 'noble silence.' Hence the Lotus Sūtra says: 'This dharma cannot be shown; the marks of words and speech are extinguished. Among all other classes of living beings, there is none that can understand it.'
