6.6

The venerable Upāli next addressed the Blessed One: “Blessed One, bodhisattvas who have tamed themselves will, for the sake of taming other beings, not grow weary of taming beings for as long as there is still a realm of beings, an expanse of phenomena, and conceptual designations made though the imputations of desire, anger, and dullness. A bodhisattva thinks, ‘All phenomena are well tamed, but this is not something beings understand.’ Why? All phenomena are tamed through emptiness; they are not involved with adopted views or any kind of effort. All phenomena are tamed through signlessness; they are not involved with concepts or actions. All phenomena are tamed through wishlessness; they are not involved with hope or aspiration. All phenomena are tamed through selflessness; they are not involved with attachment.

“All phenomena are tamed though the lack of ‘being’; they are not involved with differences among beings. All phenomena are tamed through the lack of lifeforce; they are not subject to passing away or being born. All phenomena are tamed through truth; they are not subject to anything deceptive. All phenomena are tamed through dependent arising; they are not subject to ownership. All phenomena are tamed through the recollections of mindfulness; they are not subject to memory or mental engagement. All phenomena are tamed through correct relinquishment; they are not subject to acceptance and rejection. All phenomena are tamed through the bases of miraculous power; they are not subject to coming and going. All phenomena are tamed through mastery; they are not subject to being inferior. All phenomena are tamed through strength; they are not subject to defeat.
