Tao-shin (580-651)
The Diamond Sutra says: “As for an infinite number of beings who have been saved, in fact there are no beings who have been saved.”
As a whole, Bodhisattvas of the First Stage at the beginning have the realization that all things are empty. Later on they obtain the realization that all things are not empty, which is identical to the “wisdom of non-discrimination”.
The Heart Sutra says: “Form is emptiness.” It is not because form is eliminated and then there is emptiness. “The nature of form is emptiness.”
