Ascending the hall, he said: “Unceasing and unarising, spanning antiquity and extending through the present; utterly unobstructed, functioning without error. Buddhas and Patriarchs achieve perfection through this; humans and gods manifest on its account. Even if thousands of sages and myriads of sages appear, they cannot alter a single hair's breadth. If you wish to know Mañjuśrī, Samantabhadra, Śākyamuni, Maitreya, Avalokiteśvara, and Mahāsthāmaprāpta—they are all right here. Not giving rise to the slightest sentimental thought of ordinary or holy, not bound by boundaries of gain and loss, right and wrong; directly beneath it, it is wholly true and nothing else. And how do you speak a phrase to solemnize and commemorate? Do you understand? / Amitābha is not obtained from without; / The entire realm is the Western Paradise.”
