[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
二無我智 [er wu wo zhi]—Two Selfless Wisdoms — [Buddhist Terminology (名數 [ming shu])] The wisdom that knows the truth of the no-self of persons (人無我 [ren wu wo]) and the no-self of dharmas (法無我 [fa wu wo]). The Lankavatara Sutra (楞伽經 [leng jia jing]), Volume 1, states: "Like a river current (如河流 [ru he liu]), like a seed (如種子 [ru zhong zi]), like a lamp (如燈 [ru deng]), like wind (如風 [ru feng]), ... (text omitted) ... like a water-drawing wheel (如汲水輪 [ru ji shui lun]), the wheel of existence in transmigration (生死趣有輪 [sheng si qu you lun]), various bodies and forms (種種身色 [zhong zhong shen se]), like images arising from magical arts (幻術 [huan shu]), divine incantations (神咒 [shen zhou]), or mechanisms (機發 [ji fa]) – clearly discerning their characteristics is called the wisdom of no-self of persons (人無我智 [ren wu wo zhi]). What is the wisdom of no-self of dharmas (法無我智 [fa wu wo zhi])? It means realizing the self-nature (自性 [zi xing]) of the characteristics (相 [xiang]) of delusive thoughts (妄想 [wang xiang]) in the skandhas (陰 [yin]), dhātus (界 [jie]), and āyatanas (入 [ru])."
二無我智—【名數】知人無我法無我理之智也。楞伽經一曰：「如河流、如種子、如燈、如風、。（中略）如汲水輪，生死趣有輪，種種身色，如幻術神咒機發像起，分善彼相知，是名人無我智。云何法無我智？謂覺陰界入妄想相自性。」
