teach perpetually, and are irreproachable in their activities of body, speech, and mind. They have confounded desire, anger, and dullness along with their habitual patterns, have conquered all māras and adversaries, and possess the supreme and undisputed Dharma. They are of greater depths than all the oceans, of greater height than all sumerus, more stable than the earth, and more supple than water; they blaze hotter than fire; and they are more unencumbered than the wind, more stainless than space, more nimble than the movements of the mind, and more exalted than a wish-fulfilling jewel. They are omniscient, equally engaged with every being, free of all desire, and unceasing in their efforts to benefit all beings. Their physical form, sound, and qualities are immeasurable. They are inconceivable, possess the inconceivable Dharma of the buddhas, and utterly transcend the mind, thought, and mental objects. Their minds are rich in knowledge and ethical conduct and they have cut through the evil of the three paths.¹²² They have the exalted intentions that come from great compassion, possess qualities that are shared in common with all beings, and act as if a mother and father to all beings.¹²³ To them, friend and foe are regarded equally, and they experience an axe and sandalwood as the same.¹²⁴ They have the character to bring clarity to all beings—inferior, average, and superior—at all times and in every circumstance. They are great beings whom others find difficult to fathom. They possess great luxuries, are rich in knowledge and ethical conduct, and are great speakers of the Dharma and Vinaya. They are great people who have the marks of a great person. They surpass the entire world¹²⁵ and serve as a light of the world. They are yogins of the great yoga,¹²⁶ domains of great meditation who possess the wonder of great liberation.¹²⁷
