The History of Buddhist Thought c25.18

c25.18

The fundamental principle is expounded in the chapter on the Void. “ ‘ Profound ’ is a name of the Void, of the signless, of the undetermined, of non-accumulating, of non-arising, of non-birth, of non-passion, of cessation, of Nirvāṇa, of departure.” It is also a name for all things, and things that are void are also imperishable. The Void is the immeasurable. Hence in these things no distinction or plurality is found.
