### [2.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhiraja*bo~en-84000.2.20)

“When they have received that prophecy  
The earth shakes in six ways,  
The realm is illuminated by light,  
And millions of devas send down a rain of flowers. {24}  
  
“When they have received that prophecy  
Countless quintillions of beings  
Develop the aspiration to enlightenment,  
Thinking, ‘We also shall become jinas, worthy of offerings.’³¹² {25}  
  
“When the bodhisattvas attain  
These three unsurpassable patiences  
They are not born, they do not die,  
They do not pass away, and are not reborn. {26}  
  
“When the bodhisattvas attain  
These three unsurpassable patiences  
They do not see beings born or dying,  
But see all phenomena as remaining in the true nature. {27}  
  
“In this way they know that they are untrue,  
That phenomena are like illusions, that they are naturally empty.  
Emptiness is not born and does not die.³¹³  
All these phenomena are by nature empty. {28}  
  
“Whenever someone shows them respect,  
Attending to them, honoring them, and making offerings,  
They take no pleasure in it,  
For they know that phenomena have an empty nature. {29}  
  
“Toward beings who revile, threaten, or beat them,  
They feel no anger, nor pride.  
They only feel constant love for them,  
Wishing for those beings to be liberated. {30}  
  
“Even when beaten and cut with sticks and stones,  
Those wise ones will feel no anger,  
Remaining in the patience of selflessness,  
And not having unyielding anger or pride. {31}  
  
“In this way they know the lack of reality,  
That phenomena are like illusions, with an empty nature.  
They remain in that knowledge of phenomena  
And are venerated by this world and its devas. {32}  
  
“Even toward beings holding weapons  
Who cut into pieces their body and limbs,  
They would have no anger,  
And their love and compassion would not diminish. {33}  
  
“Toward such beings, while they are cutting up their body and limbs,  
This is what arises in their mind:  
‘Until I can bring these beings to enlightenment  
I will not pass into the peace of nirvāṇa.’ {34}
