Quotes About Thatness

The Omniscient One who Directly Sees Thatness" is an epithet of the Buddha. A buddha is called "omniscient" since he possesses the unhindered knowledge of all aspects of the knowable. The direct vision of thatness (Tib. de kho na nyid) is synonymous with the vision of reality as it is, with the direct realization of emptiness, of the absolute truth, of the dharmadhatu or the sugatagarbha.

Every questioning is a seeking. Every seeking takes its direction beforehand from what is sought. Questioning is a knowing search for beings in their thatness and whatness.
