This section again appears as a dialog text, perhaps a continuation of part 9.
Section X
"What is called, 'as it comes'?"
"To understand phenomena as they are and so respond to things. Therefore we say 'as it comes'."
"What is called Buddha?"
"To be aware in accordance with phenomena [dharma], to be aware that there is no object of awareness. Therefore we say 'Buddha' [the aware]."
"What is called phenomena [dharma]?"
"The mind being a phenomenon in accord with phenomena [dharma] as it is, is not produced, the mind being a phenomenon as it is not annihilated. Therefore we say it is phenomena [dharma].
"What is called being a monk?"
"To come together in accordance with phenomena [dharma] as they are in agreement. Therefore we say to be a monk."
This concludes section X.
The Long Scroll Parts: [1], [2], [3 and 4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10]
