TRANSFORMING
WITHOUT THERE BEING ANYONE TRANSFORMED, TWENTY-FIVE
" Subhuti, what do you think? None of you should maintain that the Thus
Come One has this thought: 'I shall save living beings.' Subhuti, do not
think that way. Why? In fact the Thus Come One does not save any living
beings. If the Thus Come One saved living beings, then the Thus Come One
would have a sense of a self, others, living beings, and a life. "Subhuti,
although the Thus Come One speaks of the existence of a self, there is
really no self that exists. However, common people think they have a self.
Subhuti, the common people that the Thus Come One speaks of are not common
people. Therefore they are called common people."
