Sūtra: "Why is this? 'Tathāgata' means... the meaning of the suchness of all dharmas." / Commentary: This is that tathatā cannot be spoken. Within the text, he questions and explains. Why is it that bodhi has no real dharma? If there is no bodhi, a Buddha also does not exist. As for saying that at that time there was nothing attainable, why is this? The prediction of the Tathāgata conferred at that time means that the Tathāgata is simply the suchness (tathatā) of all dharmas. Yet this tathatā is truly unspeakable, because it is free of conceptual proliferation and a disturbed, agitated mind, and because it is not of a conditioned, contaminated nature that is genuinely distinct. Therefore, at that time there was nothing spoken and nothing attained.
