World-Honoured One, for what reason does the Tathāgata, Arhat, Samyaksambuddha say that not speaking is the Buddha's speech?" The Buddha told Mahāmati: "Because of two dharmas I speak in this way. What are the two dharmas? They are the dharma of self-attainment and the dharma of fundamental abiding. These are called the two dharmas. Because of these two dharmas, I speak in this way." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.39](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.39) - [Next: 3.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.41) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789~en-mt.3.40) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (3) - [楞伽阿跋多羅寶經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*zh-gunabhadra.3.22) — Classical Chinese - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པའི་ཐེག་པ་ཆེན་པོའི་མདོ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo.5.3) — Classical Tibetan - [འཕགས་པ་ལང་ཀར་གཤེགས་པ་རིན་པོ་ཆེའི་མདོ་ལས་སངས་རྒྱས་ཐམས་ཅད་ཀྱི་གསུང་གི་སྙིང་པོ་ཞེས་བྱ་བའི་ལེའུ](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.lankavatara*bo-d108.5.5) — Classical Tibetan --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.40) · Pramāṇa
