The Changeless Nature

84 The Changeless Nature193 Since enlightenment is free of these,it should be known as everlasting, at peace,permanent and deathless.This intelligence so stainless is 'the ground'because it is the foundation for all virtuous qualities.194 Just as space, which is without cause,is the cause for seeing, hearing and so onforms, sounds, odours, sensations and mental data,195 Likewise this is the condition for the untainted qualitiesto arise as objects of stable beings' sense facultiesthrough their unimpeded connection with the two kayas.196 Buddhahood is inconceivable,permanent, everlasting, at peace,immutable, perfectly at peace,all-embracing and concept-free.Like space, it is unclinging,completely unhindered,free of coarse sensation,invisible, imperceptible,wholesome and immaculate.197 One's own fulfilment and benefit for beingsare manifested through the vimuktikaya and the dharmakaya.These two foundations, of own-value and value-for-others,have the above qualities of inconceivability and so forth.198 Buddhahood is the domain of omniscient jnanaand not within the scope of the three prajnas.Therefore the jnana-kaya should beunderstood as inconceivable for beings.199 Being so subtle, it is not an object of study.Being the ultimate truth, it is not contemplation's domain.Being the profound universal essence,it is not within the scope of the mundanesorts of meditation and so on.
