Nirvikalpamahāmaitrīśvara, and the bodhisattva, the great being, Avalokiteśvara.

At that time, the Blessed One, surrounded and esteemed by an assembly of hundreds of thousands, taught the Dharma¹⁴ concerning the nonconceptuality of phenomena.

The Blessed One surveyed the entire assembly of bodhisattvas and addressed them, “Noble sons, you should keep in mind The Dhāraṇī ‘Entering into Nonconceptuality’. Keeping it in mind, a bodhisattva, a great being, will swiftly perfect the qualities of a buddha and will make steady, excellent progress.”

The bodhisattva, the great being named Avikalpa­prabhāsa, rose from his seat in the assembly, draped his upper robe over his shoulder, and knelt with his right knee on the ground. He bowed toward the Blessed One with hands folded and addressed the Blessed One, “Blessed One, please explain The Dhāraṇī ‘Entering into Nonconceptuality’. Once they have heard it, bodhisattvas, great beings, will keep it in mind, recite it, contemplate it properly, and teach it extensively to others.”

Thus addressed, the Blessed One said, “Then listen well, noble sons, and be attentive as I explain The Dhāraṇī ‘Entering into Nonconceptuality’.”

“That is excellent, Blessed One!” replied the bodhisattvas, the great beings.
