“What is properly conceptualized
Is itself not proper.
The wise do not conceptualize even a little bit—
Their sphere of activity is actually empty. {5}
“Those who conceptualize waver about;
Those who do not conceptualize are unwavering.
Concepts produce wavering;
Being without concepts is nirvāṇa. {6}
“Those who understand this nature
Are known as wisdom bearers.
On that account they have attained cessation.⁵⁰
That is nonconceptual wisdom. {7}
“With wisdom is wisdom proclaimed.
Even proclamations of wisdom are vain.
Those who have acceptance via such wisdom
Are known as wisdom bearers. {8}
“The acceptance by which one accepts a holy Dharma of this sort
Is the supreme acceptance
Superior to the generosity
Of filling the trichiliocosms with jewels as offerings. {9}
“Practicing, for incalculable millions of eons,
Giving, morality, forbearance,
Diligent effort, and concentration
Is not equal to this sūtra. {10}
“This Dharma and this vehicle
Were taught by the perfectly complete Buddha.
When relying on this sūtra
All will become tathāgatas.” {11}
When this Dharma discourse had been explained, one hundred thousand⁵¹ living beings purified the Dharma eye with regard to dharmas so that it was dustless and stainless. The minds of five hundred monks were liberated from the pollutions without any further clinging.⁵² Eighty thousand gods belonging to the form realm generated the mind set on unexcelled, perfectly complete awakening. The Bhagavān predicted that they would all realize unexcelled, perfectly complete awakening in the eon called Star-like and that all of them would then bear the same name: the tathāgata, arhat, perfectly complete buddha Flower.⁵³ When the Bhagavān had said this, the youthful Mañjuśrī, the venerable Śāriputra, and the world with its gods, humans, asuras, and gandharvas
