佛昇忉利天為母說經云。佛告月氏天子。何謂菩薩曉了一切猶如虛空。其三界者。心之所為。不計斯心。無有色像。亦不可覩。無有處所。無有教令。猶如幻化。因其心本。而求諸法。則不可得。若以於心不求于心。則無所獲。心不可逮。以不得心。一切諸法亦不可得。諸法則無有法。無形類想。亦無有影。而無所有。及與實諦。亦無所覩。無所覩者。於一切法。心無所入。知一切法。無所成就。亦無所生。譬如虛空。

The Sūtra on the Buddha's Ascension to the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven to Preach the Dharma for His Mother says: 'The Buddha told the devaputra Candana: "What is meant by the bodhisattva understanding all things to be like empty space? The three realms are what citta makes. If one does not calculate this citta, it has no form or image, nor can it be seen; it has no location and no command; it is like an illusion or transformation. If, based on the root of this citta, one seeks all dharmas, they cannot be found. If, through citta, one does not seek within citta, then nothing is obtained. Citta cannot be grasped. Because citta cannot be found, all dharmas likewise cannot be found. Dharmas have no dharmas; they have no notions of shape or kind, nor do they have shadows; they are non-existent, and together with the real truth, nothing is to be seen. As for having nothing to be seen: toward all dharmas, the citta enters nowhere; knowing all dharmas to have nothing accomplished and nothing arisen, they are just like empty space."'
