Zen for Absolute Beginners 523: The Uncompounded Buddhas
779. The theorisers explain a cause to consist in the simultaneity of antecedent and consequent; the birth of all things is told by means of a light, a jar, a disciple, etc.
780. The Buddhas are not Samskrita-made, but are endowed with the marks [of excellence]; they belong to the nature of a Cakravartin; the Buddhas are not so named because of these [marks].
