𝙎𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙞𝙫𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙪𝙚 𝙣𝙖𝙩𝙪𝙧𝙚 & 𝙙𝙮𝙣𝙖𝙢𝙞𝙘 𝙤𝙛 𝙍𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨 as directly perceived / experienced by enlightened beings / Buddhas / Tathagatas.

-

Directly perceiving the true nature of Reality as it is is what transmutes bondage / samsara into liberation / nirvana. This direct wisdom of Reality as it is is what purifies everything.

-

It is a direct realisation beyond all extremes & middle,

beyond all dualistic conceptual proliferations,

beyond all defining limitations,

beyond all conditioning / karma.

-

Ex. Beyond dualities like: existence & non-existence,

subject / actor / perceiver / knower & object / result / perceived / known,

difference & identity, manyness & oneness, duality & non-duality,

permanence & impermanence, continuity & discontinuity,

dependent origination / appearance & emptiness, pure & impure,

samsara & nirvana, etc.

-

Suchness is another word for the inconceivable unique all-pervading timeless unborn unconditioned unchanging unceasing pristine Ground / Basis / Source / Genuine-emptiness / Buddha-nature / True nature & dynamic of Reality as it is / Union of the Two Truths.

𝙎𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 '𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨', 𝙣𝙤𝙩 '𝙣𝙤𝙣-𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨', not both together, not neither. It, reality as it is / suchness, is indescribable / inconceivable for our flawed conditioned dualistic conceptual mind(s).

A thing is not really caused / functional, not completely non-caused / non-functional, not both together, not neither.

A thing is 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙮 / 𝙥𝙡𝙪𝙧𝙖𝙡, 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙚 / 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙪𝙡𝙖𝙧, not both together, not neither.

A thing is not purely-object, not purely-subject, not purely-relation, not a combination of those, not none of those.

A thing is 𝙢𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙮 𝙡𝙖𝙗𝙚𝙡𝙚𝙙 / 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙪𝙩𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙 in dependence of its past experiences / conditioning / karma.

All things are 𝙡𝙞𝙠𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙘𝙚, 𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨, reflections, mirages, dreams, echos, magical tricks: 'There, but not there.' Like them but NOT exactly the same.

-

Suchness is the inseparability / interdependence / harmony / non-duality / Union of those apparently opposite aspects: ex.

-- Suchness = the Non-duality / Sameness / Union of the two truths: Union of appearance / dependent origination & emptiness [U2T];

-- Suchness = the Non-duality / Sameness / Union of apparent opposites like existence & non-existence [Uopp];

-- Suchness = the Non-duality / Sameness / Union of apparent opposites like functionality & non-functionality [Uopp];

-- Suchness = the Non-duality / Sameness / Union of apparent opposites like the three spheres -- subject & object & relation / action -- [U3S / U2T-3S];

-- Suchness = the Non-duality / Sameness / Union of apparent opposites like being many & being one [Uopp];

-- Suchness = the Non-duality / Sameness / Union of apparent opposites like 'this' & 'non-this' -- for whatever 'this' is [Uopp].

This is explaning / teaching without explaining / teaching 'Suchness', without perceiving / apprehending / opposing anything in absolute terms (ex. the three spheres, the two truths ...), just conventionally / relatively / inter-subjectively; without falling into any extreme or middle.

-

So, to point to "suchness", we can use those dualistic concepts / descriptions conventionally / relatively / intersubjectively, but never in absolute terms. Thus not accepting / rejecting them.

Suchness / Reality as it is is beyond all of them, beyond all conditioning / karma (physical, conceptual, mental), beyond accepting / rejecting / changing anything in absolute terms.

And 'beyond / transcendence' does not mean to reject / negate / abandon / eliminate / not-do; but the Middle Way.

It makes no divisions [opposition] in terms of the Dharma of ordinary beings, the Dharma of the hearers, the Dharma of the solitary buddhas, or the Dharma of the buddhas.

In the manner of disengagement [T2], it engages with the single principle [T1] [U2T].”

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 is immersed in 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨.

(i.e. suchness = the inconceivable True nature & dynamic of Reality as it is.)

However, it is free from conceptualizations of 𝙨𝙪𝙘𝙝𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 and does not conceptualize that it is profound.

In that way it teaches the absence of concepts.”

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 teaches that the inexhaustibility of any phenomenon itself is complete exhaustion.

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 teaches how to understand that which is beyond thought [T1], without conceptualizing or apprehending it [T2] [U2T].”

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 expresses that which is totally free from attachment. In it there is neither attachment to marks nor absence of attachment; [Uopp: not existence, not non-existence]

there is no attachment, anger, or delusion;

there is no oneness or duality, [Uopp: not dual / many, not non-dual / one]

no doing or not doing; [Uopp: not acting / perceiving / knowing, not non-acting / perceiving / knowing]

no accepting or rejecting.” [Middle Way: not accepting, not non-rejecting]

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 expresses the moon-like quality of having an equanimous attitude toward all beings [T1], without conceptualizing those beings [T2] [U2T].”

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 severs the continuity of all anguish.

It is without anguish and timidity.

It teaches the Dharma that all beings feel the pain of anguish,

and that the root of anguish is self-clinging and possessiveness.

Even so, it is grounded in the sameness of self-clinging and possessiveness.”

.

1.­293

The bodhisattva Nonapprehension added,

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 expresses the non-apprehension [T2] of the desire realm, the form realm, the formless realm, the Dharma of the hearers, and the Dharma of the solitary buddhas [T1] [U2T].”

The bodhisattva Avalokanam added,

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚

teaches the Dharma that expresses sameness

(i.e. Non-duality / Sameness / Union of opposites / Uopp.)

through the sameness of emptiness,

(i.e. Non-duality / Sameness / Union of the Two Truths / U2T.)

without conceptualizing emptiness or apprehending sameness [U2T-2T].”

The bodhisattva Trimaṇḍala­viśuddhi added,

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚

reveals how to avoid contradicting the three spheres when one is teaching the Dharma.

What are the three spheres?

Not apprehending oneself, not apprehending the Dharma listener, and not fixating on the Dharma.

This is called a Dharma teaching in which the three spheres are pure.”

The bodhisattva Progression added,

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 correctly expresses the understanding that all phenomena are uncompounded.

However, to express this means not uttering even a single word, since all phenomena are indescribable.”

The bodhisattva Engaged in the Profound added,

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘿𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙢𝙖 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙘𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙡𝙚 𝙥𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙚 teaches how to understand the profundity of all phenomena [T1] while not seeing any phenomenon [T2] [U2T].

It teaches us how no teacher, student, or teaching can be seen [U3S / U2T-3S].”
