"The gnosis of a buddha is effortless, thus it is called non-conceptual." Indrabhūti, Jñānasiddhi

Not that I could read the original, but I'd be curious what the terms are for "effortless" and "non-conceptual" here. It delights my mind to know an earlier English spelling of "concept" was "conceit," and to reflect on "effortless gnosis" as a matter of utter un-conceitedness.

This translation was given to me by Vesna Wallace as a print-out in 2016 and fortunately includes the Sanskrit. "Effortless" appears to be from manābhogaṃ, while "non-conceptual" is from nirvikalpa. Of course, "gnosis" = jñāna.pic.twitter.com/hDpRwXWZjN

The second half of the verse is also noteworthy: "Having reflected upon [that], due to there being compassion it is not a state of no-thought."
