菩薩從兜術天降神母胎說廣普經 1.57

1.57

The bodhisattva Body-Contemplation addressed the Buddha, saying: "As the Buddha has spoken, empty space and the Dharma realm are all empty and tranquil. Without a Buddha, one speaks of 'Buddha'; without the Dharma, one speaks of 'Dharma'; without the Saṃgha, one speaks of 'Saṃgha'; without this world or future worlds, without sin and without merit—would this not be identical with the great teachers [of non-Buddhists]?"
