"Subhūti, if a good man or good woman were to crush the great trichiliocosm into minute dust motes, what do you think? Would that mass of dust motes indeed be many?" / "Very many, Bhagavat. Why is this? If that mass of dust motes truly existed, the Buddha would not speak of a mass of dust motes. Why is that? What the Buddha speaks of as a mass of dust motes is not a mass of dust motes; this is called a mass of dust motes. Bhagavat, what the Tathāgata speaks of as the great trichiliocosm is not a world; this is called a world. Why is this? If the world truly existed, it would be a mark of unified cohesion. What the Tathāgata speaks of as the mark of unified cohesion is not the mark of unified cohesion; this is called the mark of unified cohesion." / "Subhūti, the mark of unified cohesion is ineffable, yet ordinary persons greedily cling to this matter."
