The best and most beautiful things in the world...

The best and most beautiful things in the world
cannot be seen or even touched -
they must be felt with the heart.
- Helen Keller -

Another well said quotation. Similarly, the Diamond Sutra (Chapter 26 - translated by Red Pine) says:

"Subhuti, what do you think? Can the Tathagata be seen by means of the possession of attributes?"

Subhuti replied, "No, indeed, Bhavagan. As I understand the meaning of what Buddha says, the Tathagata cannot be seen by means of the possession of attributes."

The Buddha said, Well done, Subhuti. Well done. So it is as you claim. The Tathagata cannot be seen by means of attributes. And why not? Subhuti, if the Tathagata could be seen by means of the possession of attributes, a universal king would be a tathagata. Hence, the Tathagata cannot be seen by means of attributes."

The venerable Subhuti said to the Buddha, "As I understand the meaning of what the Buddha says, the Tathagata cannot be seen by means of attributes.

On that occasion the Buddha then spoke this gatha:

"Who looks for me in form
who seeks me in a voice
indulges in waste effort
such people see me not."

May I ask: Tathagata must be felt with the heart?
