However, among the bodhisattvas, Guṇavana is the leader; the ten ‘Vanas’ \[Forests\] are the difference; the buddhas' names, the assembly, and so forth are all the same. Each and every Vana praises the Buddha with ten verses. The sixth, the Bodhisattva Vīryavana, says in verse: “Sentient beings are not sentient beings; / both have no real actuality. / Such is the nature of all dharmas; / their real meanings both do not exist. (Sentient beings are also named the nature of dharmas).” The seventh, Balavana Bodhisattva, says: “Discerning these aggregates: / their nature is fundamentally empty and tranquil. / Because they are empty, they cannot be extinguished; / this is the meaning of non-arising. / Just as sentient beings are like this, / all buddhas are also the same; / the Buddha and all Buddha-dharmas / are devoid of intrinsic nature.” The eighth, Caritravana Bodhisattva, says: “The body is not the Buddha, / and the Buddha is not the body; / he merely takes the Dharma as his body, / penetrating all dharmas. / If one can see the Buddha’s body / as pure as the nature of dharmas, / this person, regarding the Buddha-dharma, / will have no doubts whatsoever. / If one sees that all dharmas / originally have a nature like nirvāṇa, / then one sees the Tathāgata / as ultimately having no abiding.” The ninth, Bodhivana Bodhisattva, says: “Just as a master painter / distributes various pigments: / through delusion he takes different colors, / yet the primary elements have no distinction. / In the primary elements there is no form; / in form there are no primary elements; / yet neither apart from the primary elements / is form to be found. / In the mind there are no colorful paintings; / in the colorful paintings there is no mind; / yet not apart from the mind / can colorful paintings be found. / That mind never abides, / immeasurable and inconceivable, / manifesting all forms, / each unaware of the others. / Just as a master painter / cannot know his own mind, / yet paints on account of the mind, / the nature of all dharmas is like this. / The mind is like a master painter, / capable of painting all worlds; / the five aggregates all arise from it, / there is no dharma it does not create. / As is the mind, so is the Buddha; / as is the Buddha, so are sentient beings. / One should know that the Buddha and the mind / have an essence that is both inexhaustible. / If a person understands the mind's activity / universally creating all worlds, / this person sees the Buddha / and comprehends the Buddha's true nature. / The mind does not abide in the body, / nor does the body abide in the mind, / yet it can perform the Buddha's work / with unprecedented ease. / If someone wishes to fully comprehend / all buddhas of the three periods of time, / they should contemplate the nature of the dharmadhātu: / all is created by mind alone.” The tenth, Jñānavana Bodhisattva, says: “What is grasped cannot be grasped; / what is seen cannot be seen; / what is heard cannot be heard; / the one mind is inconceivable. / The finite and the infinite: / both cannot be grasped. / If someone wishes to grasp them, / in the end nothing is attained. / Just as a wish-fulfilling jewel / can manifest all colors, / manifesting colors while formless, / all buddhas are also like this. / And just like pure empty space: / it is not form and cannot be seen; / although it manifests all forms, / none can see space. / All buddhas are also like this, / universally manifesting immeasurable forms; / it is not a sphere traversed by the mind, / and none are able to behold it.” > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 1.47](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1742.1.47) - [Next: 1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1742.1.49) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1742.1) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1742~en-mt.1.48) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (2) - [大方廣佛華嚴經](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.sanskrit.mahayanasutra.avatamsaka*zh-siksananda.19.30) — Classical Chinese - [宗鏡錄](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2016.9.5) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1742.1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1742.1.48) · Pramāṇa
