제 29 · 위의적정威儀寂靜 | 위의가 적정하니

Chapter 29. Neither Coming Nor Going

"Subhuti, if someone says that the Tathagata comes and goes, and sits and lies down, that person has not understood the meaning of what I have said. Why? 'the Tathagata comes from nowhere and goes to nowhere.' That is why He is called a Tathagata."

The Buddha said: "Subhuti, if any person were to say that the Buddha is now coming or going, or sitting up or lying down, they would not have understood the principle I have been teaching. Why? Because while the expression‎ 'Buddha' means 'he who has thus come, thus gone,' the true Buddha is never coming from anywhere or going anywhere. The name 'Buddha' is merely an expression‎, a figure of speech."

<29> 威儀寂靜

Section ⅩⅩⅨ. Perfect Tranquility

Subhuti,if anyone should say that the Tathagata comes or goes or sits or reclines, he fails to understand my teaching Why? Because TATHAGATA has neither whence nor whither, therefore is He called "Tathagata".

Section 29: Power and position destroyed in silence

“Subhūti, if someone says that the Tathāgata comes, goes, sits, or lies down, then this person does not understand the meaning of my teachings. Why? The Tathāgata is one who neither comes nor goes anywhere, and for this reason is called the Tathāgata.
