Mañjuśrī said, “As I understand it, with regard to all dharmas to be without words and without speech, without indication and without cognition, free from all questions and answers—this is entering the dharma gate of non-duality.”
This is the answer. Zhao says: “Although what the various masters above illuminated was the same, what they based it upon was each different. Moreover, they directly analyzed dharma characteristics and did not illuminate wordlessness. Now Mañjuśrī gathers the explanations of all the masters to open the gate of non-duality. He directly states that the characteristics of dharmas cannot be spoken of, and does not apply words to dharma characteristics. For this to be spoken is the utmost of speech; yet compared to tranquil silence, it is still second.”
