English version Sambodhi (Enlightenment). At that time, the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva, Wu Suo Fa (An Unoriginated One), said to the Buddha: 'World Honored One! How does a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva skillfully understand the graspable and the grasping dharmas?' The Buddha said: 'Good man! If a Bodhisattva understands all dharmas, then the Bodhisattva skillfully understands the graspable and the grasping dharmas.' The Bodhisattva Wu Suo Fa said: 'World Honored One! How does one skillfully understand all dharmas?' The Buddha said: 'See all dharmas as like a dream, an illusion, a Gandharva-pura (city of Gandharvas, mirage), a mirage, a fire wheel, the moon in water, a transformation, an image in a mirror.' The Bodhisattva Wu Suo Fa said: 'World Honored One! What are all dharmas that are seen as like a dream, an illusion, a Gandharva-pura, a mirage, a fire wheel, the moon in water, a transformation, an image in a mirror?' The Buddha said: 'Good man! When speaking of all dharmas, it refers to eye and form, ear and sound, nose and smell, tongue and taste, body and touch, mind and dharma. Good man! This is called seeing all dharmas as like a dream, an illusion, a Gandharva-pura, a mirage, a fire wheel, a transformation, the moon in water, an image in a mirror. The grasping refers to eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind; the graspable refers to form, sound, smell, taste, touch, and dharma. The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva completely understands the grasping and graspable dharmas, and can also skillfully explain them, therefore is called one who knows all. If one knows all, that person is free from afflictions; if one can be free from afflictions, that person is without self, without what belongs to self, like space without distinctions, and obtains an equal mind towards all beings; because of obtaining an equal mind, one obtains a peaceful mind in all places; because of obtaining a peaceful mind, one is called one whose Dharma practice is naturally firm, one who is the leader of all beings, one who is without obstacles in all dharmas, one of great loving-kindness and great compassion, one who is immovable, a Samyak-sambuddha (Perfectly Enlightened One).' The Bodhisattva Wu Suo Fa said: 'World Honored One! If a Bodhisattva wishes to obtain the wonderful Dharma like the Buddhas and Tathagatas, how should they cultivate?' The Buddha said: 'If a Bodhisattva wishes to obtain such Dharma of the Buddhas and Tathagatas, they should...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
