5.69

[Ṇa]: In the language of Qin, it means "not." The "ṇa"-syllable door in the Pañcaviṃśati: entering through the fact that in all dharmas, there is no coming, no going, no standing, no sitting, and no lying down. The Śāstra states: "Sentient beings are empty, and dharmas are empty." When the Avataṃsaka chants the "ṇa"-syllable (pronounced nai-ke), it is called "contemplating that the wheel of syllables contains inexhaustible hundreds of millions of syllables." The commentary says: "That is, being free from disputes, without going, without coming, walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, which refers to constantly contemplating the wheel of syllables."
