22. Tathāgata (तथागत)

Summary

Chapter 22 is the Tathāgata (तथागत). The one thus gone is not the aggregates, not other than them, not in them, and not a fifth beside them. The same pattern used for the self is used for the Buddha. Devotion does not require a finder of a self made person under the name.

नेपालीमा

अध्याय २२ तथागत हुन्। यसरी गएका स्कन्ध होइनन्, तिनीभन्दा अर्का होइनन्, तिनीभित्र होइनन्, र तिनीबाहेक पाँचौँ होइनन्। आत्मामा चलाइएको ढाँचा बुद्धमा चलाइन्छ। भक्तिका लागि नाममुनि आफ्नै स्वभाव भएको व्यक्ति खोज्नु पर्दैन।
