「佛子!妙觀上忍大寂無相,唯以一切眾生緣生善法,亦自持一切功德,故名佛藏,而寂照一切法,自佛以下一切菩薩照寂。是故佛子!吾昔第四禪中為八億梵天王,說寂照如來無心無色而寂照一切法。佛子!吾今略說義句,為此大眾開善法行。」

"O Son of the Buddha! The wondrous contemplation of the superior forbearance is great cessation and signlessness, merely generating wholesome dharmas through conditions for all sentient beings while also maintaining all merits within oneself; therefore it is called the Buddha treasury, which quiescently illuminates all phenomena. From the Buddhas on down, all bodhisattvas illuminate quiescence. Therefore, O Son of the Buddha! In the fourth dhyāna in the past, I spoke to eight hundred million Brahma kings of the Tathāgata of Quiescent Illumination, who has no mind and no form, yet quiescently illuminates all phenomena. O Son of the Buddha! I now briefly expound these meaningful sentences to reveal the practice of wholesome dharmas for this great assembly."
