The Chapter on Expedient Means of Delighting in the Adornment of Necklaces (consisting of one work in one fascicle; also titled The Dialogue Sūtra on the Bodhisattva Who Transformed a Female Body): "If it is non-contentious and ineffable, for what reason is it spoken of as 'non-contentious'?" Subhūti said, "Sister, the Tathāgata, the World-Honored One, speaks using conventional designations for the sake of śrāvaka disciples." The woman said, "Venerable Subhūti, if there are conventional designations, there is contention. If there is contention, there is inverted view. If there is inverted view, it is not the dharma of a śramaṇa." Subhūti said, "Sister, what is the dharma of a śramaṇa?" The woman said, "Venerable Subhūti, freedom from letters, freedom from contention, and freedom from inverted views—this is the dharma of a śramaṇa. Also, not discriminating between what is dharma and what is non-dharma is the dharma of a śramaṇa. Furthermore, not discriminating between remembering and not remembering is the dharma of a śramaṇa. Freedom from all attachments is the dharma of a śramaṇa. Being without mind and separated from mental consciousness is the dharma of a śramaṇa. Knowing contentment is the dharma of a śramaṇa. Freedom from conditioned dharmas is the dharma of a śramaṇa. Knowing that all dharmas are like empty space is the dharma of a śramaṇa." When this dharma of a śramaṇa was spoken, among the gods assembled to hear the Dharma, forty devaputras were freed from dust and cleansed of defilement, attaining the purification of the Dharma-eye (dharma-cakṣuḥ-viśuddha).
