"It is neither a field of merit nor not a field of merit; it neither should receive offerings nor should not receive offerings; it is neither grasping nor renunciation; it is neither with characteristics nor without characteristics; it is identical with the reality limit and equal to the dharma nature; it cannot be praised and cannot be measured, transcending all appraisals and measurements." / Having no mind to benefit things, it is not a field of merit; yet those with requests see benefit, so it is not unmeritorious. Having no realization and no attainment, it is not an object of offering; yet its virtue permeates boundlessly, so it is not unworthy of offering. To grasp it is to lose the true; to renounce it is to deviate from the Dao. How could there be characteristics to be seen, or non-characteristics to be negated? It is identical with the reality limit, equal to the dharma nature, and transcends the realm of praise and measurement!
