@9:06 started : ) • Tathātā is a Buddhist term variously translated as thusness or suchness, referring to the nature of reality free from conceptual elaborations and the subject–object distinction • @20:42 The Buddha referred to himself as the Tathāgata, which can mean either One who has thus come or One who has thus gone , and can also be interpreted as One who has arrived at suchness . • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tath%C4... • @34:49 Ten Suchness • The Ten suchnesses (Chinese: 十如是; ) are a Mahayana doctrine which is important, as well as unique, to that of the Tiantai (Tendai) and Nichiren Buddhist schools of thought. The doctrine is derived from a passage found within the second chapter of Kumarajiva's Chinese translation of the Lotus Sutra, that characterizes the ultimate reality (literally, “real mark”) of all dharmas in terms of ten suchnesses. This concept is also known as the ten reality aspects, ten factors of life, or the Reality of all Existence • Only a Buddha and a Buddha can exhaust their reality, namely the suchness of the dharmas, the suchness of their marks, the suchness of their nature, the suchness of their substance, the suchness of their powers, the suchness of their functions, the suchness of their causes, the suchness of their conditions, the suchness of their effects, the suchness of their retributions, and the absolute identity of their beginning and end. • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_suc... • 《法华经》中，就十如是如此说明：“唯佛与佛，乃能究尽诸法实相。所谓诸法，如是相、如是性、如是体、如是力、如是作、如是因、如是缘、如是果、如是报、如是本末究竟等 • about Kumarajiva's: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kum%C4%... • @57:25 We have to enlighten ourselves. Buddha can walk with us, but not walk for us. • @1:01:18 Suchness = Form is Emptiness, Emptiness is Form. • @1:06:09 practice of being silent and still : )
