The Pu-tseng pu-chien ching; Sutra of Neither Increasing nor Decreasing. Translated by Bodhiruci in 525. A short but influential tatha^gatagarbha text that discusses the relationship between sentient beings and the dharmaka^ya 法身 （or dharmadha^tu 法界） as being one of equivalence within the medium of the tatha^gatagarbha 如来藏. The sermon begins with a question by S/a^riputra 舍利弗 as to whether the total number of sentient beings who transmigrate through the three realms and six destinies ever increases or decreases. The Buddha responds by explaining how views of increase and decrease are equivalent to the mistaken extremes of eternalism and nihi^ism. He then goes into depth explaining the nature of the tatha^gatagarbha in relation to the dharma body and sentient beings. The full title of the text is 佛说不增不减经. T 668.16.466-468.
