Upon the substance of tathatā, there naturally is illumination and function. Because it is luminous, it obtains the name 'seeing'; because it is unmoving, it obtains the name 'mind.'

Why must there be questions and answers? How could it rely on deduction and investigation? It is the perfect gate; it is the presently accomplished dharma." - [Previous: 100.42](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.100.42) - [Next: 100.44](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.100.44) - [Up: 100](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.100) ## Linked texts (1) - [宗鏡錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.100.43) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.100.43](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.100.43) · Pramāṇa
