Commentary on the Fathers and Sons Sutra: Lecture 22

Beings in the Form Realm Do Not Have Distinctions of Male or Female Form

From formlessness to form, all appearances are illusory. If karmic seeds are eliminated, appearances transform. When we cultivate dhyana and attain the first dhyana, second dhyana, third dhyana, and fourth dhyana, and are then reborn in the Form Realm after death, that form body will not have distinctions of male form or female form; at that time, there will be no male or female form. The fact that male and female forms can transform and change demonstrates that male and female forms are unreal, illusory, and false. If something can change, it must be false; that which is real never changes.
