Diamond Sūtra 29

English · F. Max Müller

‘And again, O Subhuti, if anybody were to say that the Tathagata goes, or comes, or stands, or sits, or lies down, he, O Subhiti, does not understand the meaning of my preaching. And why? Because the word Tathagata means one who does not go to anywhere, and does not come from anywhere; and therefore he is called the Tathâgata (truly come), holy and fully enlightened.’
