Actually, nothing is attained

Monk at the Parinirvana Temple, Kushinagar


Subhūti said to the Buddha, "World Honored One, when the buddhas attain peerless perfect enlightenment, is it the case that actually nothing is attained?"


"Exactly right. Subhūti, as far as peerless perfect enlightenment is concerned, I have not attained the slightest thing. This is why it is called peerless perfect enlightenment."


-the Diamond Sutra


just a little reminder to myself...
