Divine son, understanding this utterly unborn state is awakening. Yet, ultimately, awakening is not the way that it is expressed through words.

“Divine son, ultimately all phenomena are utterly unarisen. Divine son, understanding this utterly unarisen state is awakening. Yet, ultimately, awakening is not the way that it is expressed through words.

“Divine son, ultimately all phenomena are utterly unreal. Divine son, understanding this state of being utterly unreal is awakening. Yet, ultimately, awakening is not the way that it is expressed through words.”

The god then asked, “Mañjuśrī, who will have faith in this Dharma teaching?”

Mañjuśrī replied, “Divine son, since ultimately even the Thus-gone One does not have faith, forget about the hearers, solitary buddhas, and all the extremists who rely on reference points.”

The god asked him, “Who will gain conviction in it?”

Mañjuśrī said, “Those who ultimately are not attached to any phenomenon will gain conviction.”

The god asked him, “Who will apply it earnestly?”

Mañjuśrī said, “Those who ultimately do not earnestly apply themselves to any phenomenon.”

The god asked him, “Who will become realized?”

Mañjuśrī said, “Those who ultimately do not realize any phenomenon.”

The god asked him, “Mañjuśrī, who are those who ultimately do not realize any phenomenon?”

Mañjuśrī answered, “Divine son, those who, on the relative level, realize the omniscient wisdom that is endowed with the supreme of all aspects.”

The god said, “Mañjuśrī, what kind of nature do they have?”

Mañjuśrī said, “Divine son, ultimately they have the utterly unborn nature.”

The god asked him, “Mañjuśrī, in whose hands will a sūtra such as this end up?”

Mañjuśrī replied, “Divine son, relatively, in the hands of those who offer the sacred Dharma to all beings.”
