Subhuti: For aeons on end the Lord could go on expounding the attributes, tokens and signs of an irreversible Bodhisattva.
Hence he now might indicate the very deep positions of a Bodhisattva which are connected with perfect wisdom.
The Lord: Well said, Subhuti. You obviously bring up the very deep positions because you want me to change the subject.
“Deep,” Subhuti, of Emptiness that is a synonym,
of the Signless, the Wishless, the Uneffected, the Unproduced, of No-birth, Non-existence, Dispassion, Cessation, Nirvana and Departing.
