4.27
"Revolving in the abyss of the five destinies, / in vain one exhausts one's consciousness; / the defilements of ear, nose, body, and mind / cannot be removed on their own. / Consciousness and conceptions tie heavy defilements, / to be shaved away with the sword of wisdom; / wisdom can illuminate the darkness of ignorance / and bring one to the place of fearlessness. / The Buddha's consciousness sees all universally; / even if the interlocked bones of the śarīra / were ground into dust, / so subtle and fine as to be invisible, / the Tathāgata discerns them one by one, / with retribution for good and evil phenomena. / The Buddha's consciousness is exceedingly subtle and wonderful, / neither acting nor not acting; / with a single teaching he delivers tens of billions / of asaṃkhyeyas of sentient beings. / When Maitreya becomes a Buddha in turn, / he will also relinquish his śarīra; / in the mother of his original birth, / the manner of his womb will also be just as it is now."
