[0605b09] At that time, the Buddha (佛 [fu]) told the bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu]): "The Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) has accomplished what needs to be done, cast aside heavy burdens, uprooted the roots of afflictions (煩惱 [fan nao]), purified all defilements (塵垢 [chen gou]), destroyed external paths (外道 [wai dao]), subdued the armies of Mara (魔軍 [mo jun]), entered the profound and subtle truths of Buddhahood (佛甚深微妙之理 [fu shen shen wei miao zhi li]), already attained insight, achieved the ten powers (十力 [shi li]), four fearlessnesses (四無所畏 [si wu suo wei]), eighteen uncommon dharmas (十八不共 [shi ba bu gong]), fully possessed all Buddha-dharmas (佛法 [fu fa]), and observed the world with five pure eyes (五眼清淨 [wu yan qing jing]). He thought to himself: 'Who is worthy of first receiving my Dharma (法 [fa])? Whose roots (根性 [gen xing]) are ripe and easy to tame? Who can quickly awaken to the meaning of what is heard, be pure and free from defilements (離染 [li ran]), have slight greed (貪 [tan]), hatred (瞋 [chen]), and delusion (癡 [chi]), not forget what I teach, not make me toil to instruct them, and never regress from what they hear?' After thinking this, he observed the external practitioner (外道 [wai dao]), the son of Rama (羅摩之子 [luo mo zhi zi]), who was intelligent and wise, and although possessing afflictions (煩惱 [fan nao]), his three defilements (三垢 [san gou]) were subtle. 'If he hears my Dharma (法 [fa]), he will quickly realize it. He has attained the state of neither thought nor non-thought (非想非非想定 [fei xiang fei fei xiang ding]) and constantly expounds and practices it for his disciples (弟子 [di zi]). Where is he now?' With the Buddha-eye (佛眼 [fu yan]), he saw that he had died seven days ago. At that time, several devas (諸天 [zhu tian]) prostrated at my feet and said to me: 'World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun])! That person passed away seven days ago. When the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) was a Bodhisattva (菩薩 [pu sa]), he already knew beforehand that the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) has great wisdom (大智力 [da zhi li]). If that person had not passed away, he would have been worthy of receiving the True Dharma (正法 [zheng fa]).'"

After thinking this, he observed the external practitioner (外道 [wai dao]), the immortal Arāḷa (阿羅邏仙人 [a luo luo xian ren]), who was intelligent and wise, and although possessing afflictions (煩惱 [fan nao]), his three defilements (三垢 [san gou]) were subtle.

After thinking this, he saw the five Bhadravargīyas (五跋陀羅 [wu ba tuo luo]), whose roots (根性 [gen xing]) were already ripe and easy to tame. 'They will surely awaken to the meaning of what is heard, be pure and free from defilements (離染 [li ran]), have subtle three defilements (三垢 [san gou]), not forget what I teach, and not make me toil to instruct them; if they do not hear the True Dharma (正法 [zheng fa]) from me, they will regress. When I was practicing asceticism (苦行 [ku xing]), they diligently served me. I will first turn the Wheel of True Dharma (轉正法輪 [zhuan zheng fa lun]) for these five people. They will be able to understand it, be fully accomplished in giving (施 [shi]) and precepts (戒 [jie]) and wholesome dharmas (善法 [shan fa]), attain liberation (解脫 [jie tuo]) immediately, and be free from all obstacles.'

[0605c22] The Buddha (佛 [fu]) told the bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu]): "At that time, after the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) had this thought, he went from the Bodhi Tree (菩提樹 [pu ti shu]) towards the city of Varanasi (波羅奈城 [bo luo nai cheng]) in the country of Kāśī (迦尸國 [jia shi guo]), shaking the three-thousand great-thousand world (三千大千世界 [san qian da qian shi jie]). At that time, there was an external practitioner (外道 [wai dao]) named Ājīvaka (阿字婆 [a zi po]) near the city of Gayā (伽耶城 [jia ye cheng]). He saw the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) from afar, went forward to greet him, and stood aside, saying to the Buddha (佛 [fu]): 'Elder Gautama (瞿曇 [qu tan])! Your faculties (諸根 [zhu gen]) are tranquil and lovely, and your body (身 [shen]) shines like Jambūnada gold (閻浮金 [yan fu jin]) and Campaka flowers (詹波花 [zhan bo hua]). Sir! What kind of pure conduct (梵行 [fan xing]) do you practice? Who is your teacher (師 [shi])? From whom did you leave home (出家 [chu jia])? Your movements and deportment (進止威儀 [jin zhi wei yi]) are so peaceful. Where do you come from now? And where are you going?'"

Attaining purity and freedom from outflows (清淨無漏 [qing jing wu lou]).'"

Ājīvaka (阿字婆 [a zi po]) said: 'Elder Gautama (瞿曇 [qu tan])! Where are you going now?' The World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) replied: 'I am now going to the Deer Park (鹿野苑 [lu ye yuan]) in Varanasi (波羅奈 [bo luo nai]), to bring great light (大光明 [da guang ming]) to the blind and deluded sentient beings (盲冥眾生 [mang ming zhong sheng]).' And he spoke a verse (偈 [ji]):

[0606a17] "Then Ājīvaka (阿字婆 [a zi po]) bid farewell to the Buddha (佛 [fu]) and went south. The Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) went north, passing through the city of Gayā (伽耶城 [jia ye cheng]). In the city, there was a dragon (龍 [long]) named Shan Jian (善見 [shan jian]), who invited the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) for an offering feast the next day. After the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) had eaten, he went to the village of Rohita (盧醯多婆蘇都村 [lu xi duo po su dou cun]), then to the village of Tālapuṭa (多羅聚落 [duo luo ju luo]), and then through the village of Sāragrāma (娑羅村 [suo luo cun]). In this way, he traveled, and householders (長者居士 [zhang zhe ju shi]) everywhere offered him food and drink. He proceeded in order until he reached the banks of the Ganges River (恒河邊 [heng he bian]). At that time, the river water (河水 [he shui]) was surging, flowing evenly across the banks. The World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) wished to cross and asked the boatman. The boatman replied: 'Give me the fare, and I will help you across.'"

[0606a24] "At that time, the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) said to the boatman: 'I have no fare.' The boatman said: 'If you have no fare, I will not help you across.' At that time, the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) flew through the air and reached the other side. When the boatman saw the Buddha (佛 [fu]) display this divine power (神通 [shen tong]), he blamed himself, saying: 'I am ignorant. How could I not have helped such a holy person across?' He became distressed, fainted, and fell to the ground. After a long while, he revived and went to King Bimbisāra (頻婆娑羅王 [pin po suo luo wang]) to fully recount what he had seen. When the king heard this, he immediately ordered the boatmen: 'From now on, do not collect fare from shramanas (沙門 [sha men]) who ask to cross.'"

[0606b02] "Bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu])! The Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) arrived at Varanasi (波羅奈 [bo luo nai]). In the morning, he put on his robes (著衣 [zhe yi]), took his alms bowl (持鉢 [chi bo]), entered the city to beg for food (乞食 [qi shi]), and returned to his original place. After eating, he went to the Deer Park (鹿野苑 [lu ye yuan]). At that time, the five Bhadravargīyas (五跋陀羅 [wu ba tuo luo]) saw the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) from afar and said to each other: 'The shramana (沙門 [sha men]) Gautama (瞿曇 [qu tan])! He is indulgent and greedy, unable to uphold the precepts (持戒 [chi jie]). He wanted to cut off afflictions (煩惱 [fan nao]) but then regressed and lost his meditation (禪定 [chan ding]). He was incapable even when practicing asceticism (苦行 [ku xing]), how much more so now that he freely enjoys delicious food (美食 [mei shi]) and dwells in comfort? This lazy person is clearly not a vessel for the Way (道器 [dao qi]). We should not greet him now. Do not spread a seat, do not give him water to wash his feet, do not prepare food. Do not rise when he comes. If he wants to sit, point to a low seat and let him sit there.' Only Ājñāta Kauṇḍinya (阿若憍陳如 [a ruo jiao chen ru]) did not agree with the group. At that time, the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) gradually approached the dwelling place of the five people. At that time, the five people all felt uneasy, like birds in a cage being pressed by fire. Bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu])! You should know that no sentient being (眾生 [zhong sheng]) in the world can sit peacefully when seeing the Buddha (佛 [fu]). At that time, the five people all violated their original agreement and unconsciously rose together to greet the Buddha (佛 [fu]). Some spread out seats, some gave water to wash his feet, some helped with his sandals, some held his robes, and all said: 'Welcome, Elder Gautama (瞿曇 [qu tan])! Please sit on the excellent seat.' At that time, after the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) sat on that seat, the five people prostrated before him, greeted him, stood aside, and said to the Buddha (佛 [fu]): 'Elder Gautama (瞿曇 [qu tan])! Your face is upright, your faculties (諸根 [zhu gen]) are tranquil, and your body (身相 [shen xiang]) shines like Jambūnada gold (閻浮金 [yan fu jin]) and Campaka flowers (詹波花 [zhan bo hua]). Gautama (瞿曇 [qu tan])! Have you now attained the sagely knowledge (聖種智 [sheng zhong zhi]) that transcends the world (出世 [chu shi])?'"

[0606b22] "At that time, the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) said to the five people: 'You should not call the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) "Elder," as it will bring you no benefit for a long time.' He also said to the five people: 'I have attained the Dharma of Sweet Dew (甘露之法 [gan lu zhi fa]). I now know the path to sweet dew (甘露道 [gan lu dao]). I am the Buddha (佛 [fu]), possessing all wisdom (一切智 [yi qie zhi]), tranquil and free from outflows (寂靜無漏 [ji jing wu lou]), with a mind (心 [xin]) that is liberated. You should come; I will show you the Dharma (法 [fa]) and instruct you. You should listen and practice as taught, and immediately in this very body, you will exhaust all outflows (盡諸漏 [jin zhu lou]), have clear wisdom (智慧明瞭 [zhi hui ming liao]), abide in liberation (解脫而住 [jie tuo er zhu]), accomplish pure conduct (梵行成就 [fan xing cheng jiu]), accomplish all that needs to be done, and not receive further existence (不受後有 [bu shou hou you]).' He further told the five people: 'You formerly criticized me, saying, "Elder Gautama (瞿曇 [qu tan]) indulges in worldly pleasures, does not uphold the precepts (持戒 [chi jie]), and wants to cut off afflictions (煩惱 [fan nao]) but then regresses." When I approached you, you became uneasy. Therefore, you should know that you should not call the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) "Elder."' The five Bhadravargīyas (五跋陀羅 [wu ba tuo luo]) all said to the Buddha (佛 [fu]): 'World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun])! We now wish to become shramanas (沙門 [sha men]) in the Buddha-Dharma (佛法 [fu fa]).' The Buddha (佛 [fu]) said: 'Come, bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu])!' Their hair and beard fell off by themselves, and the Dharma robes (法服 [fa fu]) appeared on their bodies, and they became shramanas (沙門 [sha men]). Their hair and beard were as short as if shaved for seven days. Their deportment (威儀 [wei yi]) was orderly and solemn, like bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu]) of a hundred years. They immediately rose from their seats, prostrated at the Buddha's (佛 [fu]) feet, repented their former sins, and immediately had the thought of the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) as their great teacher (大師 [da shi]), respectfully looked up at him, and felt joyful."

[0606c09] "At that time, the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) entered a pond to bathe. After bathing, he sat quietly in one place and contemplated: 'On which seat did past Buddhas (過去諸佛 [guo qu zhu fu]) turn the Dharma wheel (轉法輪 [zhuan fa lun])?' As he was thinking this, suddenly a thousand jeweled seats (千寶座 [qian bao zuo]) emerged from the ground in that place. The Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) then rose from his original seat, respectfully circled the first three high seats, and sat down cross-legged on the fourth seat. At that time, the five Bhadravargīyas (五跋陀羅 [wu ba tuo luo]) prostrated at the Buddha's (佛 [fu]) feet and sat before the Buddha (佛 [fu]). Bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu])! At that time, the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) emitted a great light (大光明 [da guang ming]), and its light shone throughout the three-thousand great-thousand world (三千大千世界 [san qian da qian shi jie]). Within the net of light (光明網 [guang ming wang]), he spoke a verse (頌 [song]):

"'From the Tuṣita Heaven (兜率宮 [dou lu gong]),
I descended to be born in the Lumbini Garden (龍毘園 [long pi yuan]);
Brahma (梵 [fan]) and Indra (釋 [shi]) respectfully received me,
Mighty like a lion (師子 [shi zi]).
I walked seven steps (七步 [qi bu]) in the ten directions (十方 [shi fang]),
Without any deluded mind (迷惑心 [mi huo xin]);
And with a pure voice (梵音詞 [fan yin ci]),
I made this proclamation:
I am now the most venerable and supreme (最尊最勝 [zui zun zui sheng]) of all,
Renouncing the position of a cakravartin (轉輪王 [zhuan lun wang]),
I shall benefit sentient beings (眾生 [zhong sheng]).
After six years of asceticism (苦行 [ku xing]),
I went to the Bodhi seat (菩提座 [pu ti zuo]),
Subdued the armies of Mara (諸魔軍 [zhu mo jun]),
And swiftly attained the unexcelled path (無上道 [wu shang dao]).
Brahma (梵 [fan]), Indra (釋 [shi]), and the assembly of devas (諸天眾 [zhu tian zhong]),
Requested me to turn the Dharma wheel (轉法輪 [zhuan fa lun]),
Out of compassion for all beings (諸世間 [zhu shi jian]),
I silently accepted the request.
With firm vows (堅固願力 [jian gu yuan li]),
I went towards the Deer Park (鹿苑 [lu yuan]),
The place where immortals (仙人 [xian ren]) fell,
To expound the supreme Dharma (無上法 [wu shang fa]).
This Dharma (法 [fa]) was realized through cultivation (修習 [xiu xi])
Over countless kalpas (無數劫 [wu shu jie]);
You who wish to hear it,
Should quickly come and listen.
It is difficult to obtain a human (人 [ren]) or heavenly body (天身 [tian shen]),
It is very difficult for a Buddha (佛 [fu]) to appear in the world,
It is also difficult for a person to hear the Dharma (法 [fa]) and generate faith (信心 [xin xin]).
You are not born in the eight difficult states (八難 [ba nan]),
Now you have obtained a human (人 [ren]) and heavenly body (天身 [tian shen]),
Met a Buddha (佛 [fu]), heard the True Dharma (正法 [zheng fa]),
And can have pure faith (淨信 [jing xin]).
You have not heard the True Dharma (正法 [zheng fa]) for hundreds of thousands of kalpas (百千劫 [bai qian jie]),
Now you have the opportunity to meet it,
You should cultivate it well.'"

[0607a07] The Buddha (佛 [fu]) told the bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu]): "The verses (偈 [ji]) spoken within the net of light (光明網 [guang ming wang]) awakened all humans (人 [ren]), devas (天 [tian]), and other beings in the three-thousand great-thousand world (三千大千世界 [san qian da qian shi jie]), saying: 'You should come quickly! The Buddha (佛 [fu]), the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]), is now turning the Dharma wheel (轉法輪 [zhuan fa lun]).' When the devas (諸天 [zhu tian]), dragons (龍 [long]), and others heard this, they came from their respective palaces to the Buddha's (佛 [fu]) abode. At that time, the earth gods (地神 [de shen]), with their divine power (神通力 [shen tong li]), made this Bodhimanda (道場 [dao chang]) seven hundred yojanas (由旬 [you xun]) in length and width, adorned with various decorations and perfectly pure. The devas (天神 [tian shen]) in the sky further brought various banners (幢幡 [chuang fan]), jeweled canopies (寶蓋 [bao gai]) to adorn it. The devas (天子 [tian zi]) from the desire realm (欲界 [yu jie]) and form realm (色界 [se jie]) brought eighty-four thousand jeweled lion seats (寶師子座 [bao shi zi zuo]) and placed them in the Bodhimanda (道場 [dao chang]), each requesting: 'World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun])!

[0607a25] The Buddha (佛 [fu]) told the bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu]): "At that time, there was a Bodhisattva (菩薩 [pu sa]) in the assembly (眾中 [zhong zhong]) named Zhuan Fa (轉法 [zhuan fa]), holding a jeweled wheel (寶輪 [bao lun]) with a thousand spokes, magnificently adorned and incomparable, emitting a thousand lights (光明 [guang ming]). It was also adorned with flower garlands (花鬘 [hua man]), jeweled bells (寶鈴 [bao ling]), subtle silk ribbons (微妙繒綵 [wei miao zeng cai]), and immeasurable jeweled ornaments (寶具 [bao ju]). Due to the power of this Bodhisattva's (菩薩 [pu sa]) former vows (先願力 [xian yuan li]), this wheel (輪 [lun]) was created to make offerings to the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) and past Buddhas (過去諸佛 [guo qu zhu fu]). All past Buddhas (諸佛 [zhu fu]) had this wheel (輪 [lun]) before they turned the Dharma. At that time, that Bodhisattva (菩薩 [pu sa]) held this jeweled wheel (輪寶 [lun bao]), presented it to the Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]), and spoke a verse (偈 [ji]):

"'Honored One (尊 [zun])! Remember in the past,
When Dipankara Buddha (然燈佛 [ran deng fu]) gave you a prophecy (授記 [shou ji]),
That you would attain perfect enlightenment (正覺 [zheng jue]),
And be named Muni (牟尼 [mou ni]).
At that time, I also
Made this great vow (弘誓願 [hong shi yuan]),
That when the Guide (導師 [dao shi]) attained Buddhahood (成佛 [cheng fu]),
I would offer this jeweled wheel (輪寶 [lun bao]).
All humans (人 [ren]), devas (天 [tian]), and others,
And all Bodhisattvas (菩薩眾 [pu sa zhong]),
Their number is immeasurable,
All for turning the Dharma wheel (轉法輪 [zhuan fa lun]).
Each with their divine power (神力 [shen li]),
Brought various offerings (種種供具 [zhong zhong gong ju]),

Which cannot be fully described even in kalpas (窮劫 [qiong jie]).
The three-thousand great-thousand world (三千大千界 [san qian da qian jie]),

[0607b13] The Buddha (佛 [fu]) told the bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu]): "The Tathagata (如來 [ru lai]) passed the first watch of the night in silence. In the middle watch, he comforted the great assembly (大眾 [da zhong]) and made them joyful. Towards the end of the night, he called the five Bhadravargīyas (五跋陀羅 [wu ba tuo luo]) and told them: 'You should know! There are two kinds of hindrances for those who have left home (出家之人 [chu jia zhi ren]). What are the two? First, attachment to desires (欲境 [yu jing]) in the mind (心 [xin]) and inability to abandon them. This is for inferior people, ignorant and foolish ordinary beings, not the conduct of sages (聖 [sheng]), illogical, not a cause of liberation (解脫因 [jie tuo yin]), not a cause of dispassion (離欲因 [li yu yin]), not a cause of divine powers (神通因 [shen tong yin]), not a cause of Buddhahood (成佛因 [cheng fu yin]), not a cause of Nirvana (涅槃因 [nie pan yin]). Second, incorrect contemplation, afflicting one's own body (自苦其身 [zi ku qi shen]) in pursuit of liberation (出離 [chu li]), enduring suffering in the past, present, and future. Bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu])! You should abandon these two extremes. I will now explain the Middle Way (中道 [zhong dao]) to you. You should listen carefully and diligently practice it. What is the Middle Way (中道 [zhong dao])? Right View (正見 [zheng jian]), Right Thought (正思惟 [zheng si wei]), Right Speech (正語 [zheng yu]), Right Action (正業 [zheng ye]), Right Livelihood (正命 [zheng ming]), Right Effort (正精進 [zheng jing jin]), Right Mindfulness (正念 [zheng nian]), Right Concentration (正定 [zheng ding]).

[0607b25] The Buddha (佛 [fu]) told the bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu]): "There are four noble truths (四聖諦 [si sheng di]). What are the four? Namely, the truth of suffering (苦諦 [ku di]), the truth of the origin of suffering (苦集諦 [ku ji di]), the truth of the cessation of suffering (苦滅諦 [ku mie di]), and the truth of the path to the cessation of suffering (證苦滅道諦 [zheng ku mie dao di]). Bhikṣus (比丘 [bi qiu])! What is called the noble truth of suffering (苦聖諦 [ku sheng di])? Namely, the suffering of birth (生苦 [sheng ku]), the suffering of old age (老苦 [lao ku]), the suffering of sickness (病苦 [bing ku]), the suffering of death (死苦 [si ku]), the suffering of separation from what is loved (愛別離苦 [ai bie li ku]), the suffering of encountering what is hated (怨憎會苦 [yuan zeng hui ku]), the suffering of not obtaining what is sought (求不得苦 [qiu bu de ku]), the suffering of the five clinging-aggregates (五盛蘊苦 [wu sheng yun ku]). This is called the noble truth of suffering (苦聖諦 [ku sheng di]). What is called the noble truth of the origin of suffering (苦集聖諦 [ku ji sheng di])? Namely, craving (愛 [ai]), grasping (取 [qu]), existence (有 [you]), delight, accompanied by greed (貪 [tan]) and seeking pleasure. This is called the noble truth of the origin of suffering (苦集聖諦 [ku ji sheng di]). What is called the noble truth of the cessation of suffering (苦滅聖諦 [ku mie sheng di])? Namely, the complete cessation of craving (愛 [ai]), grasping (取 [qu]), existence (有 [you]), delight, accompanied by greed (貪 [tan]) and seeking pleasure. This is called the noble truth of the cessation of suffering (苦滅聖諦 [ku mie sheng di]). What is called the noble truth of the path to the cessation of suffering (證苦滅聖道諦 [zheng ku mie sheng dao di])? It is the Eightfold Noble Path (八聖道 [ba sheng dao]), namely Right View (正見 [zheng jian]) up to Right Concentration (正定 [zheng ding]). This is called the noble truth of the path to the cessation of suffering (證苦滅聖道諦 [zheng ku mie sheng dao di]).

[0607c27] "At that time, the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) spoke with a pure voice (梵音聲 [fan yin sheng]), and this pure voice (梵音 [fan yin]) was perfected through immeasurable merits (無量功德 [wu liang gong de]), cultivated truly for immeasurable kalpas (無量劫 [wu liang jie]), realized naturally without a teacher (師 [shi]). He emitted this wonderful sound and said to Kauṇḍinya (憍陳如 [jiao chen ru]) and others: 'Eye (眼 [yan]) is impermanent (無常 [wu chang]), suffering (苦 [ku]), empty (空 [kong]), non-self (無我 [wu wo]), without person (無人 [wu ren]), without sentient being (無眾生 [wu zhong sheng]), without life (無壽命 [wu shou ming]), like decaying grass (腐草 [fu cao]), or a wall mixed with earth, fragile and unreal. The ear (耳 [er]), nose (鼻 [bi]), tongue (舌 [she]), body (身 [shen]), and mind (意 [yi]) are also like this. Kauṇḍinya (憍陳如 [jiao chen ru])! All dharmas (一切法 [yi qie fa]) arise from conditions (因緣生 [yin yuan sheng]) and have no inherent nature (體性 [ti xing]), transcending permanence (常 [chang]) and annihilation (斷 [duan]), like empty space (虛空 [xu kong]). Although there is no doer and no receiver, wholesome and unwholesome dharmas do not perish. Kauṇḍinya (憍陳如 [jiao chen ru])! Form (色 [se]) is impermanent (無常 [wu chang]), suffering (苦 [ku]), empty (空 [kong]), non-self (無我 [wu wo]). Feeling (受 [shou]), perception (想 [xiang]), volitions (行 [xing]), and consciousness (識 [shi]) are also like this. Craving (愛 [ai]) is like water that moistens conditions, and various sufferings increase. If one attains the holy path and realizes that all dharmas are empty in nature, one can forever extinguish such sufferings. Kauṇḍinya (憍陳如 [jiao chen ru])! Ignorance (無明 [wu ming]) arises from incorrect discrimination and contemplation; there is no other cause for ignorance (無明因 [wu ming yin]). This discrimination does not lead to ignorance (無明 [wu ming]). Furthermore, from ignorance (無明 [wu ming]) arise volitions (諸行 [zhu xing]), but this ignorance (無明 [wu ming]) does not lead to volitions. Even volitions condition consciousness (行緣識 [xing yuan shi]), consciousness conditions name and form (識緣名色 [shi yuan ming se]), name and form condition the six sense bases (名色緣六處 [ming se yuan liu chu]), the six sense bases condition contact (六處緣觸 [liu chu yuan chu]), contact conditions feeling (觸緣受 [chu yuan shou]), feeling conditions craving (受緣愛 [shou yuan ai]), craving conditions grasping (愛緣取 [ai yuan qu]), grasping conditions existence (取緣有 [qu yuan you]), existence conditions birth (有緣生 [you yuan sheng]), birth conditions old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, and distress (老死憂悲苦惱 [lao si you bei ku nao]). These are the causes of the world; there are no other causes. Although various dharmas arise, the cause does not reach them. There is ultimately no self, person, sentient being, or receiver in dharmas, giving up this body (此身 [ci shen]) and reaching those aggregates (彼蘊 [bi yun]). If one contemplates correctly without discrimination, ignorance (無明 [wu ming]) is extinguished. When ignorance (無明 [wu ming]) is extinguished, volitions (行 [xing]) are extinguished. When volitions (行 [xing]) are extinguished, consciousness (識 [shi]) is extinguished. When consciousness (識 [shi]) is extinguished, name and form (名色 [ming se]) are extinguished. When name and form (名色 [ming se]) are extinguished, the six sense bases (六處 [liu chu]) are extinguished. When the six sense bases (六處 [liu chu]) are extinguished, contact (觸 [chu]) is extinguished. When contact (觸 [chu]) is extinguished, feeling (受 [shou]) is extinguished. When feeling (受 [shou]) is extinguished, craving (愛 [ai]) is extinguished. When craving (愛 [ai]) is extinguished, grasping (取 [qu]) is extinguished. When grasping (取 [qu]) is extinguished, existence (有 [you]) is extinguished. When existence (有 [you]) is extinguished, birth (生 [sheng]) is extinguished. When birth (生 [sheng]) is extinguished, old age, death, sorrow, lamentation, suffering, and distress (老死憂悲苦惱 [lao si you bei ku nao]) are extinguished. If one can thus comprehend conditions within the aggregates (蘊 [yun]), elements (界 [jie]), and sense bases (處 [chu]), then one attains Tathāgata (多陀阿伽度 [duo tuo a jia du]), Arhat (阿羅訶 [a luo he]), Samyak-sambuddha (三藐三佛陀 [san miao san fu tuo]).

[0610c25] At that time, the World-Honored One (世尊 [shi zun]) wished to reiterate this meaning, and spoke a verse (偈 [ji]):

"Without place, without conceptual elaborations,
Without arising, and without cessation,
Its nature is empty and tranquil,
Such is the turning of the Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]).
Neither going out nor entering,
Without cause, and without marks,
All dharmas (一切法 [yi qie fa]) are equal,
Such is the turning of the Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]).
Like dreams, illusions, mirages,
Water moons, and echoes,
All without self-nature,
Such is the turning of the Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]).
Entering into dependent origination dharmas,
Neither severed nor permanent,
Free from all evil views,
Such is the turning of the Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]).
Free from existence and non-existence,
Neither Dharma nor non-Dharma,
Fundamentally neither arising nor ceasing,
Such is the turning of the Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]).
Reality and non-reality,
Tathatā and non-Tathatā,
Manifesting the nature of all dharmas,
Such is the turning of the Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]).
Eye, ear, nose, tongue, body,
And mind are all unreal,
Their nature is empty and thoughtless,
Such is the turning of the Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]).
With such a Dharma wheel (法輪 [fa lun]),
Awakening those who are not yet awakened,
The nature of all dharmas,
I have personally awakened to.
Not awakened by others,
Called a natural person,
Attained self-sovereignty in Dharma,
Therefore called the Dharma King (法王 [fa wang]).
Knowing reason and unreason,
Therefore called the Guide (導師 [dao shi]).
Expounding Dharma as appropriate,
Teaching and transforming all beings.
Able to reach the other shore,
Therefore called the Teacher Lord (教主 [jiao zhu]),
For those who are lost on the path,
Expounding the true Dharma.
Crossing them to the other shore,
Therefore called the Supreme Teacher (無上師 [wu shang shi]),
With the four ways of embracing (四攝 [si she]) and wisdom,
Universally embracing all worlds.
Transcending the dense forest of birth and death,
Therefore called the Caravan Leader (商主 [shang zhu]).
Without hindrance in Dharma,
Therefore called Dharma Self-Sovereign (法自在 [fa zi zai]).
Turning the wheel of True Dharma,
Therefore called the Dharma King (法王 [fa wang]).
Called Teacher, called Dharma-holder,
Called Supreme Dharma Lord,
Also called Great Virtuous Lord,
Also called Perfect in Precepts and Vows,
Also called Giver of Fearlessness,
Also called Revealer of Nirvana,
Also called Subduer,
Also called Self-Liberator,
Also called Awakener of Mind.
Great light of wisdom,
Universally illuminating all,
Breaking the darkness of ignorance,
Serving as the King of Physicians (醫王 [yi wang]) for the world.
Able to remove the sickness of afflictions,
Skillfully extracting all poisonous arrows,
Called the Supreme Guide (無上導師 [wu shang dao shi]).
Possessing thirty-two marks (三十二相 [san shi er xiang]),
Complete with eighty subsidiary characteristics (八十種好 [ba shi zhong hao]),
All parts of the body are subtle,
Conforming to sentient beings.
Ten powers (十力 [shi li]), four fearlessnesses (四無畏 [si wu wei]),
Eighteen uncommon dharmas (十八不共法 [shi ba bu gong fa]),
The great vehicle's supreme Muni (牟尼 [mou ni]),
Possesses such majestic virtue.
The supreme True Dharma wheel (無上正法輪 [wu shang zheng fa lun]),
The Tathagata's (如來 [ru lai]) supreme merits (功德 [gong de]),
If one wishes to explain them extensively,
They cannot be exhausted even in kalpas (窮劫 [qiong jie]).
Buddha's (佛 [fu]) wisdom (智 [zhi]) is boundless,
Vast as empty space (虛空 [xu kong])."
