2.33

對曰：「是道非真實道若真實道。何以故？有佛有說法見化眾生，以是故，是道非真實道。緣緣眾生是道，緣緣盡眾生是真實道。過去緣緣盡眾生，於現在非真實道。現在緣緣盡眾生，於過去非真實道。過去、現在緣緣盡眾生，於未來非真實道。未來緣緣盡眾生，於過去、現在非真實道。何以故？是道非真實道，過去緣緣盡眾生，現在緣緣盡眾生，未來緣緣盡眾生，是真實道。菩薩摩訶薩知而見之，不處不入。何以故？猶如九行不盡。所謂九行者，上上、上中、上下、中上、中中、中下、下上、下中、下下。上上緣盡，上中緣不盡，非真實道。上中緣盡，上下緣不盡，非真實道。上下緣盡，中上緣不盡，非真實道。中上緣盡，中中緣不盡，非真實道。中中緣盡，中下緣不盡，非真實道。中下緣盡，下上緣不盡，非真實道。下上緣盡，下中緣不盡，非真實道。下中緣盡，下下緣不盡，非真實道。下下緣盡，是真實道。菩薩摩訶薩於真實性，不取不捨，不住不不住，過去、當來、現在等，道等涅槃等，一等無有二。法性等、自然相等、眾生等、垢等、五陰等、緣等、癡行等，道行清淨不一不二。欲行緣盡，非色行緣盡；色行緣盡，非無色行緣盡；無色行緣盡，色行緣盡，欲界行緣盡，是謂菩薩等非一非二。」

He replied, "This path is not a true path or is a true path. Why is that? There are Buddhas, there is the teaching of the Dharma, and there are manifested transformations seen by sentient beings; for this reason, this path is not the true path. Sentient beings with conditioning conditions are the path; sentient beings in whom conditioning conditions are exhausted are the true path. Sentient beings of the past whose conditioning conditions are exhausted are not the true path in the present. Sentient beings of the present whose conditioning conditions are exhausted are not the true path in the past. Sentient beings of the past and present whose conditioning conditions are exhausted are not the true path in the future. Sentient beings of the future whose conditioning conditions are exhausted are not the true path in the past and present. Why is that? This path is not the true path; sentient beings of the past whose conditioning conditions are exhausted, sentient beings of the present whose conditioning conditions are exhausted, and sentient beings of the future whose conditioning conditions are exhausted are the true path. Bodhisattva-mahāsattvas know and perceive it, neither abiding nor entering. Why is that? It is just like the nine conducts being unexhausted. What are the nine conducts? They are superior-superior, superior-middling, superior-inferior; middling-superior, middling-middling, middling-inferior; inferior-superior, inferior-middling, and inferior-inferior. When superior-superior conditions are exhausted while superior-middling conditions are unexhausted, it is not the true path. When superior-middling conditions are exhausted while superior-inferior conditions are unexhausted, it is not the true path. When superior-inferior conditions are exhausted while middling-superior conditions are unexhausted, it is not the true path. When middling-superior conditions are exhausted while middling-middling conditions are unexhausted, it is not the true path. When middling-middling conditions are exhausted while middling-inferior conditions are unexhausted, it is not the true path. When middling-inferior conditions are exhausted while inferior-superior conditions are unexhausted, it is not the true path. When inferior-superior conditions are exhausted while inferior-middling conditions are unexhausted, it is not the true path. When inferior-middling conditions are exhausted while inferior-inferior conditions are unexhausted, it is not the true path. When inferior-inferior conditions are exhausted, it is the true path. With respect to the true nature, bodhisattva-mahāsattvas neither grasp nor abandon, neither abide nor not abide; past, future, and present are equal, the path is equal, nirvāṇa is equal—the single equality without duality. The dharma-nature is equal, the natural mark is equal, sentient beings are equal, defilements are equal, the five aggregates are equal, conditions are equal, and the conduct of ignorance is equal; the conduct of the path is pure, neither one nor two. When conditions of the conduct of desire are exhausted, the conditions of the conduct of form are not yet exhausted; when conditions of the conduct of form are exhausted, the conditions of the conduct of formlessness are not yet exhausted; when conditions of the conduct of formlessness are exhausted, conditions of the conduct of form are exhausted, and conditions of the conduct of the desire realm are exhausted—this is called the bodhisattva's equality, neither one nor two."
