Early Monastic Buddhism v2.c34.s1.2

v2.c34.s1.2

¹ Masuda renders it as “no sāsrava dharmas.” The rendering, I would prefer, is “anāsrava dharmas,” i.e. Buddhas are embodiment of anāsrava dharmas, viz., silaskandha, samādhisk., prajñāsk., vimuktisk. and vimuktijñānadarśanask. not of rūpa, vedanā, saññā, saṅkhārā and viññāṇa which are sāsrava dharmas. See my *Aspects of Mahāyāna Buddhism and its Relation to Hīnayāna* (henceforth indicated as *Aspects*), p. 108.
