What is this Dharma-seal (dharmamudrā) called Gaganapariśuddhi which has thirty-two aspects of entrance? [...] 29) all dharmas lack characteristics since their defining character is neutralised (āniñja); 30) all dharmas are neutral (aniñjita) since they lack place of objective supports; 31) all dharmas lack place [of objective supports] since they are firmly rooted beyond objectification; [...]”.
