The Dharma to them all.

The buddhas gift every form of happiness,
And their eyes are unimpeded.
The countless thus-gone ones
Have abandoned doubt about awakened qualities.

The buddhas’ wisdom is unimpeded—
It perceives the three times.
Given that they have dominion over all phenomena,
There is nothing unknown to the buddhas.

The Guide of Humans preaches
That the aggregates are nonexistent.
The four elements are as if hollow,
And nowhere are there sounds to be attached to.

The essence of the aggregates
Of form, feeling, perception,
Thoughts, formations, and consciousness
Should be known to be nonexistent.

Just as the Buddha has taught,
If one distinguishes the aggregates,
One will swiftly attain the dhāraṇīs
And become undeluded.

All phenomena are void—
All of them are empty and without self.
Of this there can be no debate or delusion.
This is what the Thus-Gone One has taught.

“Young man, located in the south, past twelve buddha realms reckoned as twice the number of smallest particles in the previous analogy, there is a world called Adorned by the Moon. There resides the thus-gone, worthy, perfect Buddha King of Knowledge of Floral Light Displays. He is alive and well and teaches the Dharma. Young man, when those noble sons or daughters who abide in the Bodhisattva Vehicle hear the name of the blessed one, the thus-gone one King of Knowledge of Floral Light Displays—as long as they do not doubt this but trust in my vision—they will achieve the absorption of emitting light rays once they have passed away. They will become knowledgeable in ten thousand countless trillions of methods to gain absorption.
