13.15

And they teach millions of sūtras. {54}

“They are greatly learned and hold what they have learned;
They are holders of the Dharma of the buddhas.
They are holders of the treasure that is the Dharma
And they rejoice in the treasury of the Sage.
They have become possessors of immense wisdom
And they are constantly giving rise to vast joy.
They teach the peace of the supreme Dharma,
Which is subtle, liberating,¹³²¹ and difficult to see. {55}

“They know what is Dharma and what is not.
They are gentle, wise, and remain within the Dharma.
They are unequaled teachers of the kingdom of the Dharma
And constantly practice the supreme, unequaled Dharma.
They are devoted to the excellent Dharma
And maintain veneration of the guru.
They dwell in the supreme city of the Dharma.
They who are wise raise up the banner of the Dharma. {56}

“When they see beings who are proud,
Arrogant,¹³²² and constantly heedless,
Who are on a destructive, wrong path,
Who are following the path of saṃsāra,
They have vast love and compassion for them
While remaining in joy and equanimity.
They teach them the supreme eightfold path
Of peace that is difficult to see. {57}

“They build the strong ship of the Dharma
To save and carry the many beings
Who have fallen into the great ocean
And into the rivers of saṃsāra.
Armored in the strengths, powers, and aspects of enlightenment,
They set out upon the ship of the Dharma,
And they always easily and without fear
Bring beings to the far shore.¹³²³ {58}

“They practice the discipline of the supreme medicine.
They are physicians who possess the supreme medicine.
They have perfectly attained liberation through knowledge and wisdom,
And they dispense the medicine of the good Dharma.
When they see sick beings
Afflicted by many illnesses,
They give them the medicine of the Dharma
And they heal them through the Dharma. {59}

“They are lords of the world, sovereigns of speech,
And they defeat their adversaries in debate.
They shine with the light of omniscience.
They have understanding and are on the level of the highest wisdom.
They are heroes with the strength of wisdom that defeats other strengths.
