English version The essence lies in understanding the true meaning. All sounds in the Three Realms (desire realm, form realm, formless realm) are not the path to the right way, They are like echoes, like a scale; understanding the meaning should be the same. Therefore, listen to the Dharma, observe and accept its true meaning, Do not let the body act on its own; rejoice upon hearing the Dharma. The true meaning is the most important; the Dharma is peaceful and without烦恼(kleshas, afflictions). Practice with this profound Dharma, inherit and respect its true meaning. 'Furthermore, Prince! Bodhisattvas have four practices by which they obtain the essence of the Dharma and transcend the mundane. What are the four? First, gathering people together to teach them the Dharma; second, demonstrating the impermanence of things in the assembly; third, persuading those who perform large sacrifices to awaken their vows; fourth, always wanting to abandon all possessions and dwell in secluded places. These are the four practices by which Bodhisattvas obtain the essence of the Dharma and transcend the mundane.' The Buddha then sang in verse: 'Living in large cities, often dwelling within them, because of their wisdom, they teach the Dharma to people. Dwelling in large assemblies, establishing and teaching the people, in the midst of lust and indulgence, they demonstrate the impermanence of things to them. Gathering at large sacrificial ceremonies, they assist with me and others, persuading and helping because of their enlightenment. Being with nothing, always thinking of abandoning, the mind always wishes to dwell in secluded places.' 'Furthermore, Prince! Bodhisattvas have four practices by which they obtain respect and obedience, and follow the teachings of the Buddha, the World Honored One (a title of respect for the Buddha). What are the four? First, the mind is always on the path, never departing from it; second, what is heard is received and held in mind, never forgotten; third, what is promised is fulfilled, and requests are not refused; fourth, practicing emptiness and non-form, entering into all dharmas. These are the four practices by which Bodhisattvas obtain respect and obedience, and follow the teachings of the Buddha, the World Honored One.' The Buddha then sang in verse: 'The body experiences various sufferings, but the will to cultivate the path never changes, Hearing and entering into the essence of the Dharma, such a person is a great guide. What is promised in the heart and mouth, the actions of the body are also as spoken,' -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 习诸空无慧, 入众智黠法。 奉行如法教, 得离淫怒痴, 不懈不中止, 无恚亦无懊。 十方称名誉, 歌叹其功德, 若应顺此教, 法慧无过者。
