Non-Buddhists speak of the self as being like a sesame seed, a grain of barley, or a thumb, establishing its fixed characteristics. The Buddha speaks of the tathāgatagarbha, sometimes naming it emptiness, sometimes the limit of reality (bhūta-koṭi), down to wishlessness. Thus its substance is one, its names differ according to the circumstances, and it is not identical with the ātman spoken of by non-Buddhists. Because fools are terrified of selflessness, the Tathāgata expediently speaks of the realm of non-existence to make the gateway of the tathāgatagarbha, urging the bodhisattvas that they should not grasp a self here in the manner of non-Buddhists. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 3.261](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.3.261) - [Next: 3.263](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.3.263) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.3) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791~en-mt.3.262) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.3.262](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1791.3.262) · Pramāṇa
