[The following represents an unverified English translation. For all purposes consult the original Chinese text.]
無所有 [wu suo you]—Wú suǒ yǒu (无所有 [wu suo you]) - [Term] Also known as Wú suǒ dé (无所得 [wu suo de]), it is another name for Kōng (空 [kong], emptiness). The Surangama Sutra (楞嚴經 [leng yan jing]) states: "Peacefully attaining Wú suǒ yǒu." The Buddhakṣetra Sūtra (佛藏經 [fu cang jing]) says: "Recalling and distinguishing the Dharma of Wú suǒ yǒu, some speak of annihilation or permanence, some speak of action, some speak of non-action." The Benevolent Kings Sutra (仁王經 [ren wang jing]) states: "Therefore, the skandhas, āyatanas, and dhātus are without self, and are of the characteristic of Wú suǒ yǒu."
無所有—【術語】又言無所得，空之異名也。楞嚴經上曰：「安然得無所有。」佛藏經一曰：「憶念分別無所有法，或說斷常，或說有作，或說無作。」仁王經中曰：「是故陰入界無我，無所有相。」
