These letters without intrinsic nature are phenomena that are non-phenomena, because they are empty and non-existent, manifested by the Buddha's wisdom. Whatever is performed does not depart from the dharmadhātu, which is precisely Buddha-works. The sūtra says: "Whatever is performed is nothing other than Buddha-works." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.41](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.41) - [Next: 1.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.43) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875~en-mt.1.42) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1875.1.42) · Pramāṇa
