19.3

The Buddha said: "If someone wishes to know the realm of the Buddha, they should purify their intention to be like empty space, leave far behind delusive thoughts and all grasping, and make the mind unhindered wherever it turns." The Buddha's realm is not an external realm that possesses form; the Buddha is indeed the realm of self-realized noble wisdom. If you definitely wish to know this realm, it is not attained through artificial ornamentation and cultivation-verification: you must purify from the basis of intention the contamination of adventitious defilements from beginningless time, making it broad and vast like empty space, and leave far behind all grasping in the mental consciousness, so that false and unreal delusive thoughts are also like empty space; then, wherever this effortless, wondrous mind turns, it will naturally be without stagnation or hindrance.
