5.27

[Er-yan] (Jñeya): Also called er-yan; this translates as "the knowable," also as "that which ought to be known," and also as "cognitive object" (viṣaya). Question: "The Great Commentary states: 'At that time one transcends the mental plane and abides in the activity of wisdom.' The Avataṃsaka [Sūtra, as cited by Master] An, states: 'Universally rescuing all conscious beings, causing them to cross over the ocean of the knowable (jñeya).' [How are these understood]?" Answer: "Because this wisdom capable of knowing illuminates and opens the realm of the knowable, this is called crossing over the ocean of the knowable. Thus the first fascicle of the Laṅkāvatāra Sūtra states: 'Wisdom and the knowable attain mutual orientation.' This means that entirely depending upon the object, one accomplishes that wisdom, which is called 'within the activity of wisdom.'"
