English

From the place called "Possessing Wisdom, Shariputra," to the question "How does it increase?" From the place called "Subhuti said," to the answer "It will increase." The so-called "non-discrimination" is the distinction of non-discrimination, that is, non-discrimination and non-difference. The so-called "familiarity with the Perfection of Wisdom" is familiarity with the path of cultivation. Here, it is understanding the equality of samsara and nirvana. From the place called "Shariputra said," etc., here, the word "dream" refers to the dream itself. The so-called "perception of cessation" means that cessation is nirvana, and it is said to be its perception. Discrimination of the true meaning is discrimination. Falsehood is discrimination. "Thus" means like the sky, like the Tathagata. Mind and attention, as well as wisdom and discrimination, have the same meaning. Solitude is selflessness. With confused wisdom, taking non-existence itself as a sign, it becomes the object of focus. The so-called "attention" is easy to understand. The manifest before the body is the basis of the body. Therefore, falsehood becomes the manifestation of the body. The body also becomes manifest, so this meaning is the debater. Will become the answerer, that is, will become the respondent. Unvanquished is another name for loving-kindness. By what Dharma does one become the answerer, that is, loving-kindness. The one to be answered is the questioner. By what Dharma, that is, words. Of what Dharma, that is, of Shariputra. Generating fear is generating fear. Truly generating fear is panic. That fear continuously arises is extreme panic. Generating strength is the habit of the power of cultivation. Here, the scriptures say, "The answer to the debate of no action, etc., has been declared as such." This is the answer to the debate on the equality of samsara and nirvana. One should speak of the pure land as unsurpassed, therefore, the scriptures say, "Sentient beings' world is like this, the vessel world is impure, in that, by accomplishing purity, the Buddha land is pure."
