"It is neither in a direction nor apart from a direction; it is neither conditioned nor unconditioned; it is without indication and without explanation." / Because the Buddha's body abides in the dharma nature, it is not in a direction. Because the Āmrapālī Grove is precisely the dharma nature, it is not apart from a direction. Because the true body does not arise or cease, it is not conditioned. Because the sixteen-foot body is precisely the true, it is not unconditioned. Characteristics that respond to things are not the true mark, and thus cannot be indicated; names that respond to things are not true names, and thus cannot be explained.
