Sutra of the Wheel of the Dedication of Merit

Because they arise through illusory conditions and are spoken of only by conventional names, ultimately returning to emptiness without any fixed reality, these Name and Form Name and Form: Nāmarūpa, the mental and physical constituents of an individual. original: "名色" are without creation and without coming or going. Therefore, you should know that this is the Dharani Gate of Liberation from Name and Form Dharani Gate: A "mystic formula" or specialized teaching that holds or "retains" the power of the Dharma. original: "陀羅尼門".

Mañjuśrī, you should know that the place of consciousness Referring to Vijñāna, the discriminating mind that perceives the world. original: "識處" is a seed of enlightenment.

Mañjuśrī again said to the Buddha, "Nature is without a creator and without a self. I think the nature of enlightenment is also like this."

...Without self and without creation, only spoken of by conventional names. Because they are empty and without reality, the nature of Name and Form and the nature of enlightenment cannot be found, even if one seeks them everywhere throughout the ten directions.
