1.8

Although the principle transcends names and words, without names and words there would be no means to set forth the teaching. Therefore, regarding the nameless Way, conventional names and marks are spoken; names summon dharmas, and dharmas correspond to names. For this reason, the ultimate purport of the sūtra is contained within the title, so one first 'presents the title.'
