The King of Samādhis Sūtra 2.4

- **Language:** English

### [2.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.samadhiraja*bo~en-84000.2.4)

“The meditation of this king of samādhis, emptiness,  
Is at the summit of pure conduct.  
The continuous meditation on the nature of phenomena  
Is unknown to the foolish who practice incorrectly. {7}  
  
“Those who long for this samādhi of peace  
Will never have fear arise in their mind.²⁷³  
Those who are on this level of peace  
Will always see the supreme men.²⁷⁴ {8}  
  
“Whoever brings to mind the image of the Tathāgata’s body,  
Their senses will be at peace and their mind at peace.  
Their minds, free of error, will always be at rest.  
What they have heard and what they know will be like an ocean. {9}  
  
“Remaining in this samādhi,  
Wherever the bodhisattvas tread  
They will see ten thousand million buddhas  
And even more, as numerous as the Ganges sands. {10}  
  
“Anyone aiming to take the measure  
Of the Buddha’s Dharma will go insane.  
One cannot measure that which is immeasurable;  
The qualities of the guides in their entirety are inconceivable. {11}  
  
“There is no being in the ten directions  
Who can equal the Lord of the World, let alone be greater.  
You should long for and attain the wisdom of the buddhas,  
Who possess all the qualities of omniscience. {12}  
  
“The Lord of the World is completely beautiful,  
With a body that is the color of gold.  
Bodhisattvas will rest in meditation  
When their mind is focused upon that image. {13}  
  
“The wise who understand the composite and noncomposite²⁷⁵  
Have ceased conceptualizing attributes.²⁷⁶  
They remain in that meditation of the absence of attributes  
And know the emptiness of all phenomena. {14}  
  
“Those who remain in the dharmakāya  
Know that all things are nothing.  
Those who have ceased conceptualizing things²⁷⁷  
Do not see the Lord of Jinas as a rūpakāya. {15}  
  
“I proclaim to you and make it known to you  
That to the extent that a person contemplates this,  
To that extent their mind will be fixed upon it,  
Through that contemplation that dwells upon it. {16}  
  
“Those who remember in that way the appearance  
And immeasurable wisdom of the Lord of Sages,
