1.48

"Śuddhaprabha, you should know / that the fully perfected nature of bodhi / has neither grasping nor realization, / neither bodhisattvas nor sentient beings. / At the times of being awakened and not yet awakened, / gradual distinctions exist: / sentient beings are hindered by understanding, / while bodhisattvas have not detached from enlightenment. / Entering the stages, it is forever quiescent, / not abiding in any marks; / when the great enlightenment is fully perfected, / it is named universal accordance. / Sentient beings of the latter age / whose minds do not give rise to falsehood— / the Buddha declares that such persons / are in this very life bodhisattvas. / Having made offerings to Buddhas numerous as Ganges sands, / their merits are already perfected; / though there are many upāyas, / all are called the wisdom of accordance."
