Thus, the realm of Brahmā is empty and quiescent, acting through non-action; the Mysterious Gate is profound and subtle, having virtue through non-virtue. You masters dwell with sincerity in the azure skies, your learning illuminating past and present; your intentions accord with the jewel monastery, and your endeavors illuminate emptiness and existence. You may discuss nominal principles together so as to enlighten and enrich each other.'
