སྐྱེས་པ། 已生,མ་འགག་པ། 无灭,སྨྲ་བར་བྱ་བ་དང་། 当说,ཤེས་པར་བྱ་བ་དང་། 当知,ཤེས་པ་དང་བྲལ་བའོ། 离知。 天子,胜义谛是具足一切种最胜,超越一切智智境地之边际。如是,如所说胜义谛,非如是也。一切法皆是虚妄,是欺诳之法。天子,胜义谛是不能开示的。何以故?以能开示者,所开示之物,及所为开示之对境,彼等法皆未曾生故。未曾生之法,不能诠说未曾生之法。如是等等广说。入行论释中说:彼亦是所有戏论之境非有之自性,以显说乃是执持假立之相故,如是显说,如是并非说事物。如是所说。因此,超越所有所缘行境之甚深难测之义,离言语文字之道,不可言说。如经中所说,如是言语分别虽不能如实表示,然亦非不能依言语分别而决定。以究竟的观察理性能引生对离言法性的定解之故。因此圣者龙树说:于此义,较诸佛,更有何者为量耶?如是说。胜义谛唯有佛陀才能证悟,然后为我等所化有情开示。若说佛陀不了知开示胜义之方式,而我等知晓,除疯子外,谁会如此妄言?世尊说胜义谛是超越一切戏论之网,因此是超越一切智智之境,若对此作如是之理解是不允许的。你于下文以你之见解,亦需承认自己亦不能证悟之过失。以彼是说佛陀之过失,与疯子争辩亦不悦意,是真实的。因此,于谨慎而说则善。如是之理,如是只要依赖言语及心识而堕入有相之中,如是即不能证悟胜义之义,是作如是意。

Born. Unceasing. To be spoken. To be known. Separate from knowledge. Son of the gods, the ultimate truth is the most excellent of all aspects, surpassing the boundary of the field of omniscient wisdom. It is not as it is said, "It is the ultimate truth." All dharmas are false, they are deceptive dharmas. Son of the gods, the ultimate truth cannot be taught. Why is that? Because the one who teaches, what is taught, and the object to whom it is taught, those dharmas are not born. The dharmas that are not born cannot explain the dharmas that are not born. Thus and so forth, it is extensively taught. In the commentary on the Engaging in Bodhisattva Deeds, it says: That is also the nature of not being the object of all elaborations, because expression holds the aspect of imputation. As long as there is expression, it is not expressing the object. As it is said. Therefore, the profound and immeasurable meaning that transcends all objects of focus, is beyond the path of sound and words, and cannot be expressed. As it is said in the sutra, although such sound and thought cannot accurately represent it, it is not impossible to determine it based on sound and thought. Because the ultimate reasoning can lead to a definite understanding of the inexpressible meaning of reality. Therefore, the Protector Nagarjuna said: In this meaning, who is a greater authority than the Victorious Ones? As it is said. The ultimate truth is realized by the Buddha himself, and then taught to us sentient beings to be tamed. If one says that the Buddha does not know how to teach the ultimate truth, but we know it, who other than a madman would dare to say such a thing? The Blessed One said that the ultimate truth is beyond the net of all elaborations, and therefore beyond the realm of omniscience. If such an understanding is not allowed, then you, in the following, must admit that you cannot realize it yourself. Because that is speaking ill of the Buddha, it is true that it is not pleasant to argue with a madman. Therefore, it is better to speak with caution. In this way, as long as one relies on sound and mind and falls into the realm of objects, one cannot realize the meaning of the ultimate truth, that is the intention.
