In Buddhism

Mahayana (major branch of Buddhism)

[«𱹾dzܲ Ա»] � Anashraya in Mahayana glossary
Source: Wisdom Library: Maha Prajnaparamita Sastra

śⲹ (अनाश्र�) refers to “that (doctrine) which is without support�, according to Mahāprajñāpāramitāśāstra (chapter 2).—Accordingly, [...] In this stanza, the Buddha does not say that it is the generous person who will obtain joy, or the person with knowledge, morality, patience, energy, Բ, or wisdom. The Buddha is speaking only of the faithful. His intention is the following: My supreme profound doctrine is subtle, immense, incalculable, inconceivable, immoveable, without support (śⲹ), without attachment and without perceived object. But it is not true that the omniscient one (ñ) is unable to explain it. That is why, in the Buddha’s doctrine, the power of faith is primordial. It is by faith that one enters into it and not by generosity, discipline, patience, energy, Բ or wisdom.
