Then the Blessed One spoke again in verse:

“Meditators on the yogin’s path
Eradicate their faults and become unstained,
Like the pure moon in the sky;
They liberate sentient beings from their suffering.
Because they gather qualities,
They do not become exhausted by saṃsāra.

“They consider the nature of all sentient beings,
And they act with steadfast perseverance.
Devotedly making offerings
To buddhas in immeasurable buddhafields,
They thereby become endowed with the ten strengths,
And they do not become exhausted by saṃsāra.

“Teaching the inconceivable Dharma,
In innumerable, infinite worlds,
They maintain uninterrupted the lineage of the Three Jewels
And become fully awakened as Dharma Kings.⁴⁷
Those who preserve excellent discipline
Do not become exhausted by saṃsāra,

“And they recognize that the nature of saṃsāra
Is like a dream, a cloud, or a flash of lightning.
Those who find liberation through the Dharma
Do not become exhausted by saṃsāra.

“Remaining in an awakened state,
With their joyful minds,⁴⁸ they are always happy.
Those who have become accomplished through skillful means⁴⁹
Do not become exhausted by saṃsāra.

“Constantly practicing the excellent Dharma,
Their realization increases, like the waxing moon in the sky.
Those who aspire to the Buddha’s qualities⁵⁰
Do not become exhausted by saṃsāra.

“And, although saṃsāra is endless,
They always dwell in the real endpoint.
Those who are attuned to insight, even for just a moment,
Do not become exhausted by saṃsāra.

“Furthermore, girl, when it is endowed with eight qualities,⁵¹ the mind’s constitution will be balanced.⁵² What are these eight qualities? The mind will be of balanced constitution because the mind has become similar to earth;⁵³ because the mind has become similar to water; because the mind has become similar to fire; because the mind has become similar to air; because the mind has become similar to space; because the mind has become similar to the expanse of reality;
