The text has five parts: first, stating the central thesis; second, discerning its characteristics; third, harmonizing them; fourth, clarifying its essence; fifth, a concluding summary. This is the first part. > Within this part there are three sections: first, properly stating the central thesis; next, explaining it; and last, citing proofs. Here in the first section, two sūtras are cited to establish the thesis of non-knowing. > Regarding "This distinguishes the function of wisdom's illumination and yet says it is without characteristics and without knowing": This is also an explanation, but not yet the main explanation. This sentence acts like a question: Since it is called prajñā, which directly clarifies the function of wisdom, it ought to be knowing; why then does it say "without characteristics and without knowing"? What is the reason for this? > "Truly, there is the illumination of knowing without characteristics and knowing without knowing, as is evident": This sentence functions as the answer. "Truly" means definitely. There is definitely a knowing without characteristics, which means there is no knowing that grasps at characteristics. Because there is no knowing that grasps at characteristics, it is clear that it is non-knowing. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.12](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.2.12) - [Next: 2.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.2.14) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859~en-mt.2.13) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [肇論新疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1860.2.31) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.2.13](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1859.2.13) · Pramāṇa
