English version: Associated with the aggregates, manifesting various Jataka (birth stories) in impure Buddha-lands, or manifesting ascending to Tushita Heaven (Tushita Heaven, the fourth heaven of the desire realm in Buddhism), or manifesting descending from that heaven, or manifesting entering the womb of the divine mother, or manifesting the initial birth from the womb, or manifesting the stage of Kumaras (youth), or manifesting studying the eighteen branches of knowledge, or manifesting various plays and amusements in the rear garden, or manifesting renunciation, or manifesting ascetic practices, or going to the Bodhi-tree (place of enlightenment), or attaining Buddhahood, or turning the wonderful Dharma wheel in Varanasi (ancient Indian city where the Buddha first taught), or entering Parinirvana (final nirvana) in the Sal grove (place of Buddha's death), manifesting such various events, even to the final limit of the cycle of birth and death. Ananda (one of the ten great disciples of Shakyamuni)! Supreme Bodhi encompasses the three bodies (Trikaya, the three bodies of a Buddha), therefore it is called the place of Bodhi practice. ‘Ananda! What is the permanent Dharma of Supreme Bodhi? And this permanence has two Dharmas as its causes and conditions: first, ‘non-arising and non-ceasing,’ and second, ‘infinite and inexhaustible,’ this is called the permanent Dharma of Bodhi.’ ‘Ananda! What are the unique characteristics of Supreme Bodhi? There are two kinds of uniqueness: first, ‘unknowable,’ ordinary people, Sravakas (disciples who hear the Buddha's teachings and attain enlightenment), and Pratyekabuddhas (those who attain enlightenment on their own) cannot understand it, it is not their realm; second, ‘unattainable,’ no one can attain it except for the Buddha. These unique Dharmas are of five kinds: first, the Suchness (Tathata, the principle of true reality) is very profound; second, it is self-existent and immovable; third, it is encompassed by the pure, unconditioned realm; fourth, there is no obstruction to all that is knowable; fifth, it is perfect for the benefit of all beings, this is called the unique characteristic of Bodhi.’ ‘Ananda! What is the inconceivable nature of Supreme Bodhi? There are six reasons why it is inconceivable: first, it transcends the realm of language; second, it is encompassed by the ultimate truth (Paramartha-satya, the highest truth in Buddhism); third, it has transcended the discrimination of perception and thought; fourth, it cannot be obtained through analogies; fifth, it is the most supreme among all Dharmas; sixth, it cannot be established in the realms of birth, death, and Nirvana, this is called the inconceivable nature of Supreme Bodhi.’ ‘Ananda! How is the Tathagata (Buddha) inconceivable in relation to Supreme Bodhi? Ananda! All Tathagatas dwell in the place of Supreme Bodhi, and there are five causes and conditions that make it inconceivable. What are the five? First, self-nature; second, place; third, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version 'Dwelling', the fourth is 'oneness and difference', and the fifth is 'benefit'. Ananda (Buddha's primary disciple)! How is the Tathagata's (Buddha's title) Bodhi (Enlightenment) nature inconceivable? That is, form (Rupa, materiality) is unattainable in the Tathagata, and apart from form, the Tathagata is unattainable. Sensation (Vedana, feeling), conception (Samjna, perception), volition (Samskara, mental formations), and consciousness (Vijnana, awareness) are also the same. That is, the earth element (Earth element) is unattainable in the Tathagata, and apart from the earth element, the Tathagata is unattainable. The water (Water element), fire (Fire element), and wind elements (Wind element) are also the same. That is, the eye base (Eye base) is unattainable in the Tathagata, and apart from the eye base, the Tathagata is unattainable. The ear (Ear base), nose (Nose base), tongue (Tongue base), body (Body base), and mind bases (Mind base) are also the same. That is, existing phenomena (Existing phenomena) are unattainable in the Tathagata, and non-existence is also the same. This is called the inconceivable nature of Bodhi. Ananda! How is the Tathagata's Bodhi place inconceivable? The Tathagata in the desire realm (Desire realm) is inconceivable, and apart from the desire realm, it is also inconceivable. The form (Form realm) and formless realms (Formless realm) are also the same. The Tathagata among humans is inconceivable, and apart from humans, it is also inconceivable. The six realms (Six realms of existence) are also the same. The Tathagata in the east is inconceivable, and apart from the east, it is also inconceivable. The ten directions (Ten directions) are also the same. This is called the inconceivable place. Ananda! What is the Tathagata's inconceivable Bodhi dwelling? Ananda! Dwelling in bliss, the Tathagata's dwelling is inconceivable. Dwelling in tranquility, the Tathagata's dwelling is inconceivable. Dwelling with mind, the Tathagata's dwelling is inconceivable. Dwelling without mind, the Tathagata's dwelling is inconceivable. Thus, the Brahma-viharas (Divine abodes), the Arya-viharas (Noble abodes), and the Tathagata's dwelling are inconceivable. This is called the inconceivable dwelling. Ananda! How is the Tathagata's oneness and difference inconceivable? The Tathagatas of the three times (Past, present, and future) dwell in one place. What is that one place? The self-nature pure and undefiled Dharmadhatu (Dharmadhatu) is all the Tathagatas. Whether one or different, it is inconceivable. This is called the inconceivable oneness and difference. Ananda! How is the Tathagata's beneficial activity inconceivable? Thus, the Tathagatas are equal in the one Dharmadhatu. Wisdom (Wisdom), supernatural power (Supernatural power), right diligence (Right diligence), majesty and virtue (Majesty and virtue) are all equal. Dwelling in the undefiled and pure Dharmadhatu, the Tathagatas, through this transformation of the basis (Transformation of the basis), can bring immeasurable benefits to sentient beings. This is called the inconceivable benefit. Furthermore, there are two types of inconceivability: first, that which is beyond words, because it transcends the realm of language; second, that which transcends all worlds, having no comparison in the world. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
