ཐམས་ཅད་རྟག་ཏུ་མཆོད། །ཟད་དུས་མི་བཟད་པ་ལ་བྱང་ཆུབ་སེམས་དཔའ་གང་། །བདེ་བར་གཤེགས་པས་བསྟན་པའི་ཆོས་མཆོག་འདི་སྲུང་བ། །དེ་དག་ང་ཡི་སྲས་ཏེ་ཕྱི་དུས་ཆོས་སྐྱོང་བ། །དེ་དག་སངས་རྒྱས་བྱེ་བ་སྟོང་གིས་ཡོངས་སུ་གཏད། །མདོ་སྡེ་འཛིན་པའི་ཕན་ཡོན་

“The bodhisattvas in the dreadful time of degeneration
Who protect this supreme Dharma¹¹⁵² taught by the sugatas,
Are my offspring and protectors of the Dharma in the later times.¹¹⁵³
They have been entrusted by ten billion buddhas.” {280}

Chapter 34

Kṣemadatta

Then the Bhagavān said to the youth Candraprabha,¹¹⁵⁴ “Young man, bodhisattva mahāsattvas who wish for this samādhi, and wish to attain quickly the highest, complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood, should abide in the absence of attributes and be dedicated to making vast offerings to a present tathāgata or to the stūpa of a tathāgata who has passed into nirvāṇa.

“Young man, those bodhisattva mahāsattvas should develop an aspiration focused upon all beings as they wish for this samādhi. And, wishing to attain quickly the highest, complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood, they should abide in the absence of attributes, without aspiration for the ripening of karma, and use even their own body and life to perform vast actions of making offerings to a present tathāgata or to the stūpa of a tathāgata who has passed into nirvāṇa.

“With their mind and attention focused on compassion; with a loud, clear voice, elevated and pleasant; and with especially noble vocabulary and a continuity of words they should teach extensively to others, propagate, and explain the samādhi, the revealed equality of the nature of all phenomena. Why is that? Because, young man, this king of samādhis, the revealed equality of the nature of all phenomena, is the basis and root of the entire Dharma.

“Young man, when bodhisattva mahāsattvas who have great compassion
