The Buddha is a person who has nothing to seek. If there is seeking, then one is contradicting the principle. The principle is the principle of non-seeking; if one seeks it, one misses it. If one attaches to non-seeking, then that becomes the same as seeking; if one attaches to the unconditioned, then it becomes the conditioned again. That is why the sūtra says, 'Not grasping at dharma, not grasping at no-dharma, not grasping at not no-dharma.' It also says, 'The Dharma attained by the Tathāgata is neither real nor false'.
