unmoving, nondual, and free of duality while not rejecting any activity on behalf of beings. Also, those whose conduct is based on unobstructed great compassion train in the trainings of the buddhas, and those who train in the trainings of the buddhas attain the sky treasury.²⁰³ They then give away whatever they receive from the sky treasury without perceiving a difference between munificence and stinginess, discipline and poor discipline, patience and animosity, diligence and laziness, meditative stability and distraction, or insight and poor insight. They do not aspire for buddhahood, nor do they reject the ways of ordinary beings.
“As an analogy, Blessed One, the waters that flow into the great ocean become uniformly salty. Likewise, for bodhisattvas who are wise about ultimate truth, all phenomena that appear are uniformly liberated. As another analogy, Blessed One, the sun illuminates all things. Likewise, Blessed One, bodhisattvas illuminate all phenomena with their insight.
“Blessed One, there is no contradiction in all things being emptiness. Blessed One, bodhisattvas who understand this correctly see all phenomena as awakening. Those who correctly see all phenomena as awakening and who say very little know everything as the word of the Buddha. Those who understand this teach without attachment, and those who teach without attachment are known to have unobstructed confident eloquence.
