Just As It Is

"Afflicted phenomena and pure phenomena
are all without activity and personhood.
Thus I explain that they are without activity:
not purified or afflicted in the past or future.
"Relying on views that predispose one to the
collection of errant tendencies,
one grasps at 'I' and 'mine';
one thinks 'I see,' 'I eat,' 'I act,'
'I am afflicted/ and 'I am purified/
"Knowing reality just as it is, abandoning the
collection of errant tendencies,
one attains a pure body with no basis for the afflictions,
free from elaborations and uncompounded."

-- Samdhinirmocana Sutra
