They will not deviate from the true nature, with no going and no coming. They will ripen beings without having a perception of beings. They will teach the Dharma without deviating from the sameness of all words. Although they manifest death and birth, they do not pass away, and have no birth. Because they have no thoughts toward all phenomena, that which is composite does not go anywhere and does not come from anywhere.”

When this Dharma teaching was given, three thousand bodhisattvas attained patience toward the quality of birthlessness; innumerable bodhisattvas became irreversible from the enlightenment mind; innumerable bhikṣus and bhikṣuṇīs attained the pure Dharma eyes for the Dharma; and innumerable beings developed the aspiration for the highest, most complete enlightenment.

Then, at that time, the Bhagavat recited this verse:

“This sublime Dharma that stops saṃsāra
Is profound, subtle, and difficult to see.
Those who are blind, obscured by desire,
Will not see it and will acquire suffering.”

That gathered assembly then rose from their seats, bowed their heads to the Bhagavat’s feet, and said, “Bhagavat, we will go to where someone is reading, reciting, or teaching this Lord King of Sūtras, the Sublime Golden Light, and we will form the assembly for that Dharma teacher and will benefit him, bestow happiness upon him, and make him physically and mentally happy. We will, with single-pointed minds, make offerings to him, and we will satisfy with happiness the assembly that listens to him. In the land of that king there will be no suffering because of fear of invading enemies, violence, or the anxiety of famine. The people will multiply and spread.
