The Mahāprajñāpāramitā-śāstra states: 'In the great ocean of the Buddha Dharma, faith is that by which one enters, and wisdom is that by which one crosses over.' Whether a sūtra is extensive or brief, without faith one cannot step into it, hence it is said 'Thus'. Some say: 'When the Holy One expounds the Dharma, it is solely to reveal suchness; only suchness is "thus" (right).' It is also said: '"Thus" is words that accord with principle; "right" is an appellation of non-error.' Now it is said: '"Thus" is true emptiness, and "right" is wondrous existence.' Since there is no reality outside of existence, it is empty without being annihilating; since there is no conventional truth outside of reality, it exists without being eternal. This directly refutes provisional and heterodox schools to illuminate the Middle Way; hence it says 'Thus'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.16](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.1.16) - [Next: 1.18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.1.18) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.1.17) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [首楞嚴義疏注經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.1.33) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.1.17](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.1.17) · Pramāṇa
