13.20

They have not come, they are not present, and they have no location.
They are always without essence; they have the nature of an illusion.
They are all pure—completely pure like space. {18}

“ ‘They are neither blue, nor yellow, nor white.
Those are just names, vacuous, with a nature that is just sound.
They are devoid of mind; their nature is not mind.
They are momentary and are devoid of sound. {19}

“ ‘Words do not go anywhere if spoken.
Words are not diminished if not spoken.
Words do not go in any direction.
Words do not come from anywhere.¹³³⁷ {20}

“ ‘Words do not perish, cease, or end,
Whether they are spoken or unspoken.
Words are said to be always unceasing.
Those who know that will be unceasing. {21}

“ ‘In the past, hundreds of thousands of buddhas
Have taught the Dharma hundreds of thousands of times.
But the Dharma does not cease; words do not cease,
And as there is no arising, there is no cessation. {22}

“ ‘Those who know the unceasing Dharma
Will always know the unceasing Dharma.
Having taught a hundred thousand sūtras,
They know that the Dharma is devoid of words.¹³³⁸ {23}

“ ‘The Dharma that the jinas have taught
Is unceasing and therefore is not seen.
The Dharma is primordially without a self, without a being.
Although¹³³⁹ it is taught, it does not cease. {24}

“ ‘The wise teach using all words,
But their minds are not captivated by the words.
All words are like echoes on a mountain,
So therefore never have attachment to words. {25}

“ ‘The Dharma is taught through illusory words
And all those words cease in that instant.
That which is the characteristic of those words
Is the characteristic that all phenomena have. {26}

“ ‘All phenomena have no characteristics, are devoid of characteristics;
They all have no characteristics, and are pure of characteristics.
They are always empty, and they are as pure as space.
In brief, they cannot be enumerated. {27}

“ ‘They are devoid of “composite” or “noncomposite,”
And the sages have no concepts concerning them;
They have arrived at the noncomposite in all the existences of beings
And are always devoid of contrived views. {28}

“ ‘The one whose mind is at rest in that nature
Is always without desire, anger, and ignorance.
The one who knows phenomena in that way
