“The unpolluted phenomena of emptiness
Are within the field of experience of the bodhisattvas.⁵¹³
This level of those who are wise
Is not within the field of experience of the foolish. {28}

“This level of the bodhisattvas
Is that of bodhisattva practice.
It is the adornment of the Buddha’s Dharma.
It is the peace and emptiness that has been taught. {29}

“When the bodhisattvas
Eliminate their propensities
They remain in the family of the buddhas
And are not captured by form. {30}

“All phenomena are without location;
They have no location that can be known.
For the one who knows this about their location,
Enlightenment is not difficult to attain. {31}

“Generosity, conduct, learning, and patience,
And relying upon a good friend:⁵¹⁴
Those who know these activities
Will quickly attain enlightenment. {32}

“Devas, nāgas, yakṣas, and asuras,
Mahoragas and gandharvas, will always honor them.
All the kings of the garuḍas, kinnaras,
And rākṣasas ⁵¹⁵ will make offerings to them. {33}

“Millions of buddhas will recite their praises
Continuously for many millions of eons.
It is not possible to reach the end
Of such praise for one who teaches this Dharma. {34}

“The bodhisattvas who know emptiness
Benefit many millions of beings.
They kindly teach the Dharma to assemblies⁵¹⁶
And those who hear it are delighted and respectful.{35}

“They gain vast knowledge
So that they see the supreme humans.
They see the beautiful display of their realms
And the lords of the worlds teach them the Dharma.⁵¹⁷ {36}

“Know that all phenomena are like illusions;
Know that just as space is naturally empty,
Phenomena are also naturally like that.
In that way there will be no attachment in any kind of activity. {37}

“With unimpeded wisdom, benefiting others,
Performing supreme bodhisattva conduct in the world,
With wisdom examining all phenomena,
They send emanations to other realms. {38}

“Those emanations accomplish buddha activities.
They go naturally, just as is their nature.
The beings who remain in the aspiration to enlightenment

“The bodhisattvas who know
That teaching on phenomena
Will not cease from elucidation⁵⁰⁶
Even though they teach ten million sūtras. {14}

“Through the blessing of the Guide
The ultimate truth is known.
When the ultimate is known
There is nothing to be taught. {15}

“Through one thing, everything is known.
Through one thing, everything is seen.
However much they teach
They will not become proud. {16}

“With their minds they have ascertained
The selflessness of all phenomena,
And as they are trained in teaching using terms,
They speak with words that are correct. {17}

“Whatever sound they hear,
They know its past.⁵⁰⁷
Knowing the past⁵⁰⁸ of that sound
They are not captivated⁵⁰⁹ by that sound. {18}

“Just like the past⁵¹⁰ of a sound,
So are the characteristics of phenomena.
Knowing phenomena to be like that
They will not be reborn in a womb. {19}

“They know that all phenomena are unborn
And that they have no origin.
Knowing this teaching on birth⁵¹¹
They always remember their previous lives. {20}

“When they remember those lives
They perform their actions.
For those who perform those actions
Their community of followers remains united. {21}

“The bodhisattvas who know
The emptiness of phenomena
Will never be without that knowledge.
It is the summit of nothingness. {22}

“When the foolish think about
The summit of nothingness
They continue in saṃsāra
For millions of eons. {23}

“If they are able to understand it
Just as the Guide knows it,
Then they will have no suffering
And they will not go to the lower realms. {24}

“All ordinary individuals
Are ignorant of this nature.
They reject this kind of Dharma
That brings the cessation of suffering.⁵¹² {25}

“Phenomena are perceived when
No phenomena can be found.
Recognize that perception
When that perception occurs. {26}

“The foolish conceptualize
Through consciousness and perception.
The wise do not become ignorant
In conceiving of phenomena. {27}

Will attain whatever goals they wish for. {39}

“Those who are steadfastly within the buddha family
Will always honor the buddhas.
Their bodies will shine brightly,
Adorned by the thirty-two excellent signs. {40}

“They will attain the conduct that is within the supreme samādhi
And an endless multitude of other benefits.
They will always have great, unshakable strength
And a majesty that outshines that of kings. {41}

“The wise who practice the Buddha’s Dharma
Will have an excellent appearance and great beauty.
Their merit and majesty and splendor will increase.
Their majesty will outshine even that of the devas. {42}

“Those who steadfastly remain in the aspiration to enlightenment
Will always be friends to all beings.
There will never be any darkness
In their teaching of the enlightenment of buddhahood. {43}

“The nature of phenomena is like that of space,
Inexpressible, beyond speech and words.
Those who know that supreme nature
Will have an unceasing confidence in teaching. {44}

“Even though they teach a hundred thousand sūtras,
They know the finest details of the past.
The wise will always have unimpeded speech,
Knowing the subtlety of the nature of phenomena. {45}

“They will be skilled⁵¹⁸ in hundreds of ways.
They will have mastered the many kinds of words and definitions.
They have certainty in the ripening⁵¹⁹ of actions and results.
They become distinctively preeminent in that way. {46}

“They will possess unimpaired power.
They are great wise ones, the heirs of those with the ten strengths.
Knowing the subtle nature of phenomena,
They will always have a completely pure memory.⁵²⁰ {47}

“Because they know the subtle nature of phenomena,
They will never hear an unpleasant sound.
They always hear pleasant and melodious sounds
And their words are always pleasant. {48}

“Because they know the very subtle nature of phenomena,
They have memory, understanding, wisdom, and realization.
Similarly, their minds are clear and unpolluted
And they teach many hundreds of sūtras. {49}

“They are learned in the categories of letters and words.
They know many different kinds of sounds,
And they are skilled in meanings and letters.
