6.9

And it increases fame and garlands of praises
For those to whom this samādhi of peace is taught. {111}

“ ‘Those who teach this samādhi of peace
Are praised by all the tathāgatas,
Extolled by the chiefs among humans,
And unceasingly commended by bodhisattvas. {112}

“ ‘It is the teaching of love to end bad actions.
It is the level of compassion’s equanimity.
It is the comfort of the greatly famed ones⁶⁹⁵
For the ones to whom this samādhi is taught. {113}

“ ‘It is the practice of the teaching of the lion’s roar.
It originates from the supreme wisdom of buddhahood.
It is the seal of the nature of all phenomena.
This is the samādhi taught by the guides. {114}

“ ‘It brings the attainment of omniscient wisdom,
It is the conduct of those established in enlightenment,
And it also terrifies the army of the māras.
This is the samādhi of peace taught by the Jina. {115}

“ ‘This knowledge⁶⁹⁶ is the protection that is based in the Dharma.
It is the supreme protection in the midst of enemies.
It is the subjugation of adversaries through the Dharma:
This is the samādhi of peace taught by the Jina.⁶⁹⁷ {116}

“ ‘This is the teaching of the level of eloquence.
It is the strengths, the liberations, and likewise the powers,
And it is the eighteen unique qualities of a buddha:
That is the practice of this samādhi, this peace. {117}

“ ‘It is seeking the ten strengths,
It is the omen of the coming of buddha wisdom,
It is the buddhadharma taught by the supreme being,
And it is the teaching that compassionately benefits the world. {118}

“ ‘It is possessed by the sons of the buddhas.
It is the path taught for those who seek enlightenment.
It is rejoiced in by the offspring of the sugatas
When they hear this samādhi of peace that is difficult to see. {119}

“ ‘It is the complete wisdom of buddhahood.
It is what the wise bodhisattva seeks.
One with a pure mind, clear and unblemished,⁶⁹⁸
Practices the peace of this samādhi. {120}

“ ‘One who has a pure body like that of the jinas,
Who has the knowledge of liberation, the vision of liberation,
And who is never afflicted by the bondage of desire,
Practices this excellent samādhi. {121}
