རྒྱལ་བའི་བཀའ། The Word of the Buddha
དེ་བཞིན་གཤེགས་པ་ཟད་མེད་དགེ་བ་ཡིས། །
ཆོས་ཀྱི་གཟུགས་བརྙན་ཡིན་ཏེ་འདི་ལ་ནི། །
དེ་བཞིན་ཉིད་མེད་དེ་བཞིན་གཤེག་པའང་མེད། །
The Tathagata, by inexhaustible virtue,
Is a reflection of dharmas;
Since there is no thusness (tatāhta), there is also no Tathagata.
In all worlds he appears only as a reflection.
- Buddha Shakyamuni, the Sutra of the Ornament of the Appearances of Wisdom, as quoted in The Sage Who Dispels Mind's Anguish by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
