楞伽阿跋多羅寶經註解 1.24

1.24

"Muni" is Sanskrit; in Chinese it is translated as "silent one," which is an epithet of the Buddha. This means that if a person can contemplate the silent, tranquil essence of the Buddha as arising from detachment, they will not give rise to grasping with regard to the Buddha; thus in both the present life and future lives they will attain purity. The Entry into Laṅkā says: "If one sees the Muni / As arising from tranquil detachment, / In this life and future lives / One is free from grasping and has nothing to seize." The phrasing and meaning are even clearer. In all the preceding verses praising the Buddha, they all speak of being free from grasping because praising the Buddha engenders wholesome [roots]. If one is not free from grasping, the wholesome [roots] engendered will not be profound.
