'''Chapter 22. Investigation of [[Tathagata]]'''
 
'''''([[Buddha-nature]])'''''
 
[For '''Ts.''' 370, this and the following chapter on error both serve to "demonstate that the flow of becoming is empty of inherent existence."]

1. Not the aggregates, not other than the aggregates; the aggregates are not in him; he is not in them: the [[Tathagata]] does not possess the aggregates. What is the Tathagata?

2. If the buddha depends on the aggregates, he does not exist from an own-nature. How can that which does not exist from an own-nature exist from an other-nature?

6. If there does not exist a tathagata [who is] not depending on the aggregates, how does he grasp [depend on? them]?
 
[v. 5 & 6 mirror each other grammatically - (cf. Skt.) l.c of v. 6 is effectively redundant; it serves as metric padding for the conditional [[na]]]

7. [Since] there is nothing to be grasped / dependent on, there can be no grasping / depending. There is no tathagata at all who is without grasping / depending.

8. If having examined in five ways, how can that tathagata who does not exist as that one or the other be [conventionally] understood by grasping / depending?

['''Lha.''' *[[pos]]; '''Ts.''' *[[po]]]
 
13. Those who hold the dense apprehension, "the tathagata exists" conceive the thought, "he does not exist in nirvana."
 
['''Ts.''' 378-9 says that while this version is found in Chandrakirti's Prasannapada, he prefers the version quoted by [[Buddhapalita]]:
 
:<span class=TibUni18>།གང་གིས་འཛིན་སྟུག་པོ་བཟུང་གྱུར་པ།</span><br>
 
:<span class=TibUni18>།དེ་ནི་མྱ་ངན་འདས་པ་ལ།</span><br>

:/[[med]] [[ces]] [[rnam]] [[tog]] [[rtog par byed]]//
 
''("Those who hold dense apprehensions conceive thoughts of the tathagata's "existence" or "non-existence" in nirvana.")''

['''Lha.''' *[[pa]][['ang]]]
 
14. For that one empty of own-nature, it is entirely inappropriate to think that once the buddha has nirvana-ed he either "exists" or "does not exist."

['''K.''' 310. [[zad pa med pa]] = avyaya = non-variable / steadfast]
 
15. Those who make fixations about Buddha who is beyond fixations and without deterioration -- all those who are damaged by fixations do not see the tathagata.
