Reading Vajra Cutter Sutra

Восемь благих символов буддизма
On the mandala 8 auspicious symbols of Buddhism.

Decided to read sutras all the days before I go in the hospital, I began with Vajra Cutter Sutra and, sincerely, stoped with it because I find different very interesting places to think about.

If you would like to read this sutra in other language except english, you can open this page of FPMT "Vajra Cutter Sutra" and read it in your language.

Well, the part where I stopped today is on the page 19 of the PDF I mentioned before.
If it is thought that the Tathägata considers, ‘the dharma is demonstrated
by me,’ Subhüti, do not view it like that, because the
dharma that is demonstrated by the Tathägata does not exist
whatsoever. Subhüti, if someone were to say ‘the dharma is demonstrated
by the Tathägata,’ Subhüti, he would deprecate me
since nonexistent and wrongly seized. Why is that? Subhüti, because
that demonstrated dharma called ‘demonstrated dharma,’
which is referred to saying ‘demonstrated dharma,’ does not
exist whatsoever.”
And the other part that touched me is this:
“Subhüti, they are not sentient beings
nor non–sentient beings. Why is that? Subhüti, so-called ‘sentient
beings,’ because they were taught by the Tathägata as non–
sentient beings, therefore are called ‘sentient beings.’
Some persons critizised me when I say that the sutras are nothing other as Dzogchen texts. In the last online ritrit by Namkhai Norbu Rimpoche he said it too and my opponents had to accept it.

The main idea for me that I unfortunatelly can not understand inside my heart.
they are not sentient beings nor non–sentient beings
Dharma do not exist
Samsara and Nirvana do not exist...
All this is nothing else as our dual vision.

I understand it with my mind. But I don't unsderstand it with my heart else...

  2. That page? The page is in English. But there are translations in many languages. Even in Mandarin, I think.
