The Buddha answered that it is because of two dharmas, meaning that having no dharma to be spoken is the Buddha's speech. "Self-attainment" is the cultivated virtue of personal realization; "fundamental abiding" is the fundamentally possessed virtue of nature. Cultivation and nature are as one, both transcending words, hence he says 'I speak in this way.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.40](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.40) - [Next: 3.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.42) - [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.3.41) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [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.1789.3.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1789.3.41) · Pramāṇa
