The lump of clay is one and has no fixed vessel fundamentally; the potter, through the skillful means of craft, makes various vessels. This illustrates that the selflessness of dharmas is also one and fundamentally has no fixed names; through wisdom and skillful means, various names are spoken, as mentioned before from emptiness, signlessness, up to nirvāṇa. Hence he concludes: 'he speaks either of the tathāgatagarbha or of selflessness.' Although the names are different, the meaning is one. He guides and attracts the tīrthikas who cling to a self by speaking of the tathāgatagarbha, originally to cause them to abandon clinging, enter the three gates of liberation, and realize equal and perfect enlightenment; how could this be identical to the tīrthikas' view of a spiritual self? The three liberations are: the liberation of natural purity, the liberation of complete purity, and the liberation of skillful purity. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.8) - [Next: 2.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.10) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.2.9) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.2.9) · Pramāṇa
