The Changeless Nature

116 The Changeless Nature276 Buddhas are like earth, water, fire and air,being sustenance for all the worlds.They are like space, being beyond the characteristicsof both worldly existence and that which transcends it.277 into two and thirty qualities thenare aspects of dharmakaya made,though they are as inseparable as a gem'scolour, its brilliance and its shape.278 Those attributes, which, when seen, contentment inspire,are known as the 'two and thirty' (marks)which are founded in the kayas two — the nirmanakayaand the sambhogakaya which makes the dharma perfect.279 Those far from purity and those close to it see these in two ways— as being in the world or as the mandala of the victors —like the form of the moon, beheld in water or in space.This was the third chapter, on the qualities, from the Analysis of thePotential for the Rare and Supreme, in the Ultimate MahayanaTreatise on the Changeless Continuity of the True Nature.
