The nature of reality cannot be captured by language from "summary" of The Diamond Sutra (Chin-Kang-Ching) or Prajna-Paramita by Anonymous

Reality transcends the confines of verbal expression, eluding the grasp of linguistic constructs. Words serve as mere symbols, representing ideas and concepts that fall short of encapsulating the profound essence of existence. The ineffable quality of true understanding surpasses articulation, for language is but a reflection of thought, not the source of true insight. In the realm of ultimate truth, concepts arise and dissolve, yet the underlying reality remains untouched by the dualities of affirmation and negation. The mind, in its pursuit of comprehension, often clings to definitions and descriptions, mistaking them for the actual experience. This attachment creates a veil that obscures the clarity of being, as the essence of things lies beyond the reach of verbalization. When one engages in discourse about the nature of all phenomena, the limitations of language become apparent. Each term carries connotations and implications that can distort the purity of the intended meaning. Thus, the effort to articulate profound truths can lead to misunderstandings and misinterpretations, further entrenching the seeker in the cycle of confusion. Recognition of this limitation invites a letting go of rigid concepts, allowing for an experiential understanding that transcends words. Embracing silence, one may find deeper insight in the quietude of awareness, where the subtleties of existence unfold without the interference of language. In this space, true wisdom arises, unencumbered by the confines of speech, revealing the interconnectedness of all things in their purest form.
