The Way wanders within the circle; utmost emptiness forgets forms. Utter purity is of itself bright; brightness solely illuminates itself. Toward the place where dust-realms have not yet arisen and sense-gates have left no trace, one wondrously attains the vanishing of the traces of arising, ceasing, and cyclic wandering. Singly relying on the basis of creation and transformation, within it one accepts not even a shred of shadow-affairs; only experiential realization accords with it. With a single strike from here, the paths of the great chiliocosm open up: each thing and every situation is entirely the place where I emit light and expound the Dharma. Dividing the body into hundreds of millions, singly illuminating yet spiritual, one does not fall into name-and-form at all. Complete response is without effort; like a pure mirror containing [all things], like an empty valley answering [sounds], from the beginning one is never burdened by seeing or hearing. It is the samādhi of truly sovereign and unhindered play. If one realizes it in this way, where would one go that is not advantageous?
