"Great King! If a bodhisattva sees an object, sees knowledge, sees expounding, or sees receiving, that is not a noble seeing; it is seeing dharmas with inverted thoughts, and he is an ordinary person. Seeing the three realms is merely a name for the retributions of sentient beings. When the six consciousnesses give rise to immeasurable and unending desire, that is named the emptiness of the store of the desire realm; when there are retributions of karma arisen from form, that is named the emptiness of the store of the form realm; when there are retributions of karma arisen from mind, that is named the emptiness of the store of the formless realm. The three realms are empty, and the store of fundamental ignorance of the three realms is also empty; with the nine arisings and ceasings across the three stages, the retributions of the remaining habitual tendencies of ignorance from the preceding three realms are empty. Because the vajra-bodhisattva attains the samādhi of exhausting principles, the arising and ceasing of the fruit of delusion is empty, the fruit of existence is empty, and being empty through the cause being empty, sarvajñā is also empty. The fruit of cessation is empty, because delusions were already empty before, and so the Buddha attains the fruit of the three unconditioned dharmas. Analytical cessation, non-analytical cessation, and space—the fruit of sarvajñā is empty. Good man! If one cultivates, hears, or expounds, there is no hearing and no expounding, just like space; dharmas are identical with the dharmatā, hearing is identical and expounding is identical, and all dharmas are suchness. Great King! A bodhisattva's cultivation and protection of the buddha-fruit is like this. Protecting the prajñāpāramitā is protecting sarvajñā, the ten powers, the eighteen distinctive dharmas, the five eyes, the fivefold dharma body, the four immeasurables, and all fruits of merit in this manner."
