English version: Because of the unmoving Nirvana, I respectfully bow to that which is without observation. Nirvana is constant and unmoving, without the distinction of this shore or the other shore. For the sake of understanding expedient means, I respectfully bow to that which is without observation. It is without form, without possession, without suffering, and without frivolous discussions. Because it does not dwell in existence or non-existence, I respectfully bow to that which is without observation. The places of wisdom are all equal, tranquil and without differentiation. Because self and others have the same nature, I respectfully bow to that which is without observation. With an equal mind, perform all salutations, without the distinction of salutation or non-salutation. One salutation encompasses all sentient beings, all returning to the essence of true reality. At that time, the World Honored One praised Manjushri Bodhisattva (Manjushri Bodhisattva, a bodhisattva symbolizing wisdom), saying: 'Excellent, excellent! You have now well expounded the merits of the Tathagata (Tathagata, 'Thus Gone One', an epithet of the Buddha), that all dharmas (dharmas, teachings or laws) are originally pure. Manjushri (Manjushri), suppose someone were to teach all sentient beings in the three thousand great thousand worlds, causing them to become Pratyekabuddhas (Pratyekabuddha, a solitary Buddha), it would not be as good as someone who hears of these merits and, even for a single thought, generates faith and understanding, which would surpass the former by hundreds of thousands of times.' Such successive superiority cannot be praised with words, measured with metaphors, or calculated with comparisons, as described in detail in this sutra. The Great Sage Manjushri Bodhisattva's (Manjushri Bodhisattva) Praise of the Dharmakaya (Dharmakaya, the body of the Dharma, the ultimate nature of the Buddha) Salutation --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
