"Having already no mind or mental operations, without reception or mental activity, / He completely crushed and subdued all tīrthikas." This explains subduing the heterodox. One explanation says: Formerly, when cultivating dhyāna through the six practices and engaging in austerities and the like, the bodhisattva had no mind to receive those heterodox dharmas; it was merely to display conformity in order to regulate and subdue them. Furthermore, Sengzhao says: "What is the mind? It arises through defilement by existence. What is reception? It is the practice of suffering and pleasure. The ultimate person merges with the real, his substance is quiet and his mind like empty space. Though his broad illumination shines over the ten thousand phenomena, his mind never experiences suffering or pleasure. These are experienced without taking them as reception; objects and self are eternally quiescent, so how could mind and reception be found? This is having no mind to subdue objects, and yet there is no object that is not subdued. 'Reception' means receiving and clinging."
