Fánýtt þras um Guð eða Guðleysi

Þeir sem eyða tíma í að þrasa um Guð eða Guðleysi fara villur vega. Um þetta efni hafa verið skrifaðar margar skræður og margt tínt til til að afsanna eða sanna tilveru Guðs. Tímasóun. Lesið þennan gamla texta úr Demants Sútrunni (prentuð árið 868). Hann segir allt sem segja þarf:

""Subhuti, any person who awakens faith upon hearing the words or phrases of this Sutra will accumulate countless blessings and merit."

"How do I know this? Because this person must have discarded all arbitrary notions of the existence of a personal self, of other people, or of a universal self. Otherwise their minds would still grasp after such relative conceptions. Furthermore, these people must have already discarded all arbitrary notions of the non-existence of a personal self, other people, or a universal self. Otherwise, their minds would still be grasping at such notions. Therefore anyone who seeks total Enlightenment should discard not only all conceptions of their own selfhood, of other selves, or of a universal self, but they should also discard all notions of the non-existence of such concepts."
