“All phenomena are tamed through wisdom; they are not subject to ignorance.¹⁷³ All phenomena are tamed through the lack of a creator; they are not subject to formation. Because all phenomena are not conceptually apprehended, they are not subject to consciousness. Because all phenomena lack mind, they are not subject to name and form. Because all phenomena have no basis, they are not subject to the six sense bases. Because all phenomena are nondual, they are not subject to contact. Because all phenomena lack cognition,¹⁷⁴ they are not subject to sensation. Because all phenomena lack a sense of ‘I,’ they are not subject to craving. Because all phenomena lack active capacity, they are not subject to grasping. Because all phenomena lack physical embodiment, they are not subject to becoming. Because all phenomena do not die, they are not subject to birth. Because all phenomena have a core essence, they are not subject to old age. Because all phenomena are inexhaustible, they are not subject to death.

“Blessed One, this is the unobscured path of bodhisattvas. Bodhisattvas who follow this path cannot be assailed by any māra, chastened by any opponent, or affected by any afflictive emotion. They are praised by all the buddhas and revered by all the gods.
