English version ‘Extinction’ means that with the cessation of ignorance (avidyā), activities (saṃskāra) cease, and so on, until with the cessation of birth, sorrow, grief, suffering, and distress cease; complete cessation means that Nirvana (nirvāṇa) is tranquil, and there is no further rebirth, this is called the sound of extinction. ‘Crossing over the retribution of karma’ means that karma refers to the three karmas, namely the three karmas of body, the four of speech, and the three of mind. The retribution of karma means that the three karmas are purified, this is called the sound of crossing over the retribution of karma. ‘All dharmas are like space’ means that all dharmas are equal to space. How are they equal to space? All dharmas are only names, only thoughts, without characteristics, without distinctions, without substance, unmoving, unwavering, inconceivable, neither arising nor ceasing, without action, following non-appearance, without creation, without features, without form, without place of action, abiding in equality like space. Not aging, not dying, without sorrow, grief, suffering, or distress. Form (rūpa) is equal to space, so are feeling (vedanā), perception (saṃjñā), mental formations (saṃskāra), and consciousness (vijñāna). The past has passed away, the future has not yet arrived, the present does not stay, this is called the sound of all dharmas being like space. ‘Profound Dharma’ means that ignorance conditions activities, and so on, until birth conditions old age, death, sorrow, grief, suffering, and distress. With the cessation of ignorance, activities cease, and so on, until with the cessation of birth, sorrow, grief, suffering, and distress cease. This principle is true and real, this is called profound. Profound means that the twelve links of dependent origination (dvādaśāṅga-pratītyasamutpāda) cut off all paths of language, are boundless, without place, without time, cut off the characteristics of a man, cut off worldly nature, enter into equality, break down the attachment to self and others, this is called the sound of profound Dharma. ‘Removing firmness, heaviness, ignorance, delusion, darkness, obscurity’ means that firmness refers to the five views (pañca dṛṣṭi) such as the view of self (satkāya-dṛṣṭi); heaviness refers to the five aggregates (pañca skandha); ignorance means not knowing the past and future, and whether there is sin or no sin, not recognizing the Buddha (Buddha), the Dharma (Dharma), the Sangha (Saṃgha), not knowing giving, morality, and heaven, not knowing the aggregates (skandha), realms (dhātu), and entrances (āyatana), this is called ignorance. Delusion means forgetting awareness and mindfulness, this is called delusion. Darkness means the suffering and distress of entering the womb and all impurity, yet generating pleasurable feelings, being deluded about the past and future, this is called darkness. Obscurity means being ignorant of the three times (past, present, future), without skillful means, not understanding clearly, this is called obscurity. Removing means that the true truth reveals light, removing one's own result, removing afflictions (kleśa), removing non-afflictions, removing remaining habits, entering into equality. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
