Buddha said: It cannot be said, it cannot be said, it is wrong to say it! What is the meaning of this sentence?

The Buddha said "it cannot be said" because ordinary people cannot truly understand the true meaning of the Buddha's expression. Even the Bodhisattva Lian Dang Awakening still has a level of ignorance that has not been broken, let alone ordinary people.

Indescribable

It is also called ineffable, or simply unspeakable. It is said that the truth can be proven, but it cannot be expressed or explained. Volume 17 of the "Da Prajna Sutra" "Profound Principle" and "Dafang et al. Great Collection Sutra" Volume 18 "Void Treasure Bodhisattva" both state that the first meaning is ultimately empty, so it cannot be explained in words. Volume 4 of the "Middle Theory" "Contemplation of the Four Noble Truths" says (Taisho 30.33a): "The first meaning is all based on speech, and speech is conventional. Therefore, if it does not depend on the secular world, the first meaning cannot be expressed." If you don't have the first meaning, how can you achieve nirvana? Therefore, although all dharmas have no birth, they have two truths. '

Volume 1 of Ji Zang's "Mahayana Mysterious Theory" distinguishes this meaning, saying that generally speaking, worldly truth can be said, but true truth cannot be said. However, worldly truth and true truth are not definite, so all sutras and treatises are true theories. , Shi Bu Shuo and other distinctions.

Volume 21 of the Mahaparinirvana Sutra analyzes the birth and non-birth of all dharmas, saying (Taisho 12·490b): 'It is impossible to say whether non-birth is born; It cannot be said, it cannot be said that it is not born, it cannot be said, it cannot be said that it is born, it cannot be said that it is not born. "Volume 1 of Zhiyi's "The Four Foundations of Mindfulness" and Volume 5 of "Vimalakirti Sutra Xuan Shu" etc., among them, the ineffability of birth and birth is consistent with Tibetan Buddhism. Teaching, without birth or birth, cannot be said to be the truth of the complete teaching. It is said that the first two are matters within the boundary, and the latter two are matters outside the boundary.

In addition, in Volume 16 of "Yogi Bdhishastra", there are always four kinds of differences in saying that it cannot be said, namely:

(1) It cannot be said without reason: it is said that Putegara is Those aggregates cannot be said to be different but not different.

(2) It is so profound that it cannot be said: it is called the dharma nature of separation, the inconceivable dharmakaya of the Tathagata, the inconceivable realm of the Buddhas, whether there is or is not after the death of the Tathagata, etc. cannot be explained.

(3) It can lead to meaninglessness, so it cannot be said: It means that if the dharma cannot lead to the holy life of dharma and meaning, the Buddhas and the World-Honored Ones will not say it.

(4) The Dharma and Dharma are established so they cannot be said: the so-called true nature of all actions, etc. cannot be declared to be different and non-different.

Volume 1 of "Yibu Zonglun Lun" and "Great Zhidu Lun" states that the Duzi Division divided all dharmas into five dharmas, established the "non-i.e. non-living stagnation Bu Te Jia Luo", and took it in The fifth cannot be said to be hidden. The first volume of the "Huayan Five Teachings" of the Dharma Collection is based on the article on the division of cause and effect mentioned in the second volume of "Ten Ground Sutra", and says that the division of cause can be said, but the division of effect cannot be said. That is to say, Dependent Origination is divided into the realm of Samantabhadra, which can be explained because all people know and understand it; the fruit of the Sea of ??Nature is divided into the realm of the Ten Buddhas’ internal realization, which only corresponds to the realization and is far away from explanation and view, so it cannot be explained.

In the "Vimalakīrti Sutra" "Entering the Non-dual Dharma Door", Vimalakīrti uses the word "silent and speechless" to explain the state of "entering the non-dual Dharma Door", which is also an example of the indescribable true realm.
