FOREWORD
on this transcendental truth. Sugata was the first to conceive the unreality of the Universe and to definitely proclaim it as nothing but the embodiment of the five Skandhas: he gave this instruction without any contradiction, and preached the four Noble Truths after realizing perfectly that the world is full of sorrow. He stands at the head of all philosophers, because he alone traced the cause of this cycle of existence in desires, which are necessarily the outcome of the philosophy of the realization of the Ego as taught by Kapila and others, and because he showed that the sufferings can only be destroyed by realizing everything as non-Ego, or in other words, by destroying individuality.'
Our author next proceeds to show the distinction between the two classes of Vijñanavadins, who differ on the question of the apparent inconsistency of simultaneous meditation and speech on the part of the omniscient Sugata, inasmuch as when the Saryajña meditates he cannot impart the results of his meditations, and when he speaks he cannot meditate and be Sarvajña. One class of Vijfânavadins hold that the Sarvjña does not speak when he meditates on the Nairatmya of the Universe and its sufferings, but he instructs on the truth experienced during meditation after coming out of the Dhyana;" while the second class of Vijñånavadins hold that even when the Sarvajña is in meditation the words of instruction can come out without his knowledge owing to his previous merit and transcendental knowledge. This is quite possible
