4.24
And ten million other sūtras,
While meditating peacefully in samādhi. {23}
“They establish in irreversibility
Countless multitudes of beings,
And teach the enlightenment of buddhahood
Without their confidence in speech ever declining. {24}
“They go to a pinnacled hall
That is adorned with jewels
And scatter aromatic
Flowers upon the guides. {25}
“They also sprinkle scented
Powders upon the guides.
They all make vast offerings
In order to attain enlightenment. {26}
“Those countless qualities
Are the refuge of the bodhisattvas.
When they are free of kleśas
They attain those miraculous powers. {27}
“Because the kleśas are not created
They are clear, pure, and bright.
The field of activity of the bodhisattvas
Is noncomposite and inviolate. {28}
“They have perfect peace, complete peace;
They have no kleśas, and they have no misery.⁵⁶⁰
They have no conceptualization, are free of conceptualization,
And have transcended conceptualization. {29}
“This characteristic of phenomena
Is beyond the scope of words.⁵⁶¹
It is difficult⁵⁶² to know through language⁵⁶³
And therefore it is called samādhi. {30}
“It is unending; it is complete peace;
It is effortless, and it cannot be shown.
The field of activity of all the buddhas
Is the completely pure summit of the truth. {31}
“The training of all the buddhas
Is in the nature of all phenomena.
The perfect buddhas, having trained in it,
Have reached the perfection of qualities.⁵⁶⁴ {32}
“Without any concepts of the past,
Of this side and the further side,
In that way all those buddhas
Have reached the perfection⁵⁶⁵ of qualities. {33}
“Knowing the nature of phenomena
As having no coming or going,
They have reached the perfection
That is nonconceptual and effortless.” {34}
