Phenomena are none other than self-transformed births; Illusory transformations are unborn, with nothing to fear.” He further told Mahākāśyapa: “I possess the pure eye of the Dharma, the wondrous citta of nirvāṇa, the real mark without mark, the subtle and wondrous true Dharma. I entrust it to you; do not let it be broken off. Listen to my verse: ‘The Dharma originally is a Dharma of no-dharma; A dharma of no-dharma is also a Dharma. Now when the dharma of no-dharma is entrusted, How has the Dharma of dharmas ever been a Dharma?’” - [Previous: 97.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.97.8) - [Next: 97.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.97.10) - [Up: 97](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.97) ## Linked texts (1) - [宗鏡錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.97.9) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.97.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016~en-mt.97.9) · Pramāṇa
