3.121

"With pure mind in the practice of brahma-conduct, one smashes the realm of Māra; / the power of patience is the unsurpassed Way, calm concentration inconceivable. / For countless kalpas I have constantly dwelt in being established in nowhere to be established; / single-mindedly entering the wisdom of emptiness, all conceptions adorn the body. / Future sons of good family and all those of the present / shall all be established in nowhere to be established, understanding the nature of permanence and impermanence. / Defilements and all hindrances destroy my good karmic deeds; / when defilements are completely removed, one is like gold free from blemish. / Wisdom is the guide of the world, showing the way and opening the eyes of the sightless; / it causes foolish and deluded people to deeply understand the Dharma of tathatā. / The unconditioned way of causes and conditions unfolds and advances the six supernormal powers; / the inexhaustible great Dharma treasury is bestowed in charity upon the lowly. / Craving the three liberations, one has no attachment across the three periods of time; / regarding all dharmas of the present, when defilements are exhausted, one enters the Buddha's samādhi. / The great wisdom-light of the Tathāgata severs dharmas of doubt; / the marks of foolishness become limpidly pure, and one understands the Way of emptiness and impermanence. / All people who cling to permanence are greedily attached to birth and death; / not detached from conditioned dharmas, they are bound by afflictions. / The six pāramitās and the teachings of the three wisdoms, precious jewels, wives, and children: / severing affection without any regret, the way of renouncing the household is accomplished. / People have good and bad thoughts, of superior, middling, and inferior grades; / reincarnating within the five destinies, arising and ceasing lack true nature. / The roots of suffering are countless, without rest from life to life; / the Dharma drum shakes the trichiliocosm, trembling the realm of Māra. / You hosts of sentient beings, rely upon the six supernormal powers: / as the mind thinks, the body follows, reaching everywhere without obstruction. / Practising the Way throughout months and years, never missing the time day or night; / accumulating merit like Mount Sumeru, one attains the realization of the fruit of buddhahood. / Arising and ceasing are like illusions, and also like shadows in a mirror; / receiving and entering the thirty-six, only upon entering samādhi is the Way achieved. / The true and real Dharma of the Tathāgata is undefiled and unattached; / practising benevolence, one raises the seven pāramitās, and the many jewels naturally become necklaces. / The three billion two hundred million fetters are bound tight and hard to untie; / one must use the sword of wisdom to sever them until nothing remains. / Furthermore, with the eight liberations, the nectar of the Dharma-flavour drink, / causes those who are thirsty with craving to be filled, free of conceptual thought. / Formerly, before I practised dhyāna, I constantly dwelt in the congregation of fools; / continuously attached to the four inversions, seeking liberation was difficult to obtain. / Wandering through the four unobstructed dhyānas, sovereign and without fear; / with firm concentration of mind, all rebirths and non-births are exhausted."
