 Ultimate reality’s numberless freedom from conceptual elaborations is, needless to say, a difficult idea to fathom. After all, we could only fathom it by means of concepts. But the notion allows Sapaṇ to reject a number of intermediate proposals, such as the notion that perhaps the dedicatable Sugata-matrix refers only to the animate portion of the Dharmadhātu. As he replies, there are no distinctions and hence no “portions” in the Dharmadhātu! That’s what it means to say that it is free of elaborations.
