Note 40 — INTRODUCTION
William Gemmell translation
Compare Beal’s rendering in the Kin-Kong-King, “Tathagata is the explanation as it were of all systems of Law.” See also The Book of the Manifesting of the One and Manifold in The Song Celestial, the verse commencing:—
“Thou, of all souls the Soul!
The comprehending whole!”
In conversation with Chinese monks regarding the meaning of this impressive passage, we found that they invariably approved of a suggested rendering, that “Buddha is the One in whom all Laws become intelligible.”
