English version: Regarding the objects of perception, there is no differentiation. Whether it is a person or a dharma, it is empty because of being free from characteristics. What is meant by 'emptiness' is the eighteen kinds of emptiness. The emptiness of the eye, etc., is called internal emptiness; the emptiness of form, etc., is called external emptiness; the equality of the eye, etc., and form, etc., through wisdom and observation is called internal-external emptiness. The various parts of the Vaipulya (extensive) sutras and the characteristics of the vessel-world are each observed, and each is empty; this is called great emptiness. Regarding all discriminations, being free from the nature of grasping and rejecting is called emptiness. This emptiness of emptiness is called emptiness of emptiness. Observing the ultimate truth (Paramārtha-satya) as unattainable is called ultimate emptiness. Regarding acts of giving, etc., all conditioned dharmas (saṃskṛta) are equal; this is called conditioned emptiness. All unconditioned dharmas (asaṃskṛta) have no characteristics of arising or enlightenment; this is called unconditioned emptiness. Within empty dharmas, there is not a single dharma that can actually be transformed, scattered without gathering; this is called scattered emptiness. All those dharmas have no boundaries; this is called unbounded emptiness. Within all dharmas, there is ultimately not a single dharma that is not empty; this is called ultimate emptiness. The self-nature of the aggregates, etc., is such that there is no arising, being free from the characteristics of self-grasping and rejection; this is called self-nature emptiness. All those dharmas are empty without differentiation; this is called emptiness of all dharmas. Within the aggregate of self, grasping and rejecting are unattainable; this is called unattainable emptiness. This unattainability is because the characteristics of form, etc., are unattainable; there are only the natures of various karmas; this is called signless emptiness. Whether it is a person or a dharma, its self-nature is empty; this is called self-nature emptiness. Regarding all natures, being free from the nature of grasping and rejecting is called no-nature emptiness. What is meant by no-nature is that there is no separate nature apart from the aggregates, etc. If, apart from the aggregates, etc., one discriminates emptiness arising from self-nature, this is attachment to the characteristic of obstruction, which is called emptiness of no-nature self-nature. If such discrimination reaches its end, one can be liberated from the bonds of form, etc., no longer discriminating existence or non-existence, being free from grasping and rejecting the aggregates, etc.; this is the one characteristic. And the nature of that one characteristic is not two. Because of this, one can abide in one object within the Pāramitā (perfection, going to the other shore). The principle of self-nature emptiness is free from the characteristics of conceptual proliferation; this is the true contemplation of no-self (Anātman). What is meant by the factors of enlightenment are the thirty-seven factors of enlightenment. These include the four foundations of mindfulness up to the eightfold noble path. The four foundations of mindfulness are body, feeling, mind, and dharma. Among these, mindfulness of the body means observing the body without various accumulations, without attachment, and being free from characteristics such as grasping and rejecting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: This is called ‘Kāya-smṛtyupasthāna’ (mindfulness of the body). The same observation should be applied to ‘Vedanā-smṛtyupasthāna’ (mindfulness of feelings), ‘Citta-smṛtyupasthāna’ (mindfulness of mind), and ‘Dharma-smṛtyupasthāna’ (mindfulness of phenomena). Furthermore, within this ‘Dharma-smṛtyupasthāna’, if one distinguishes between internal, external, and intermediate, there are three more, namely diligence, concentration, and mindfulness. When these three are in harmony, one can observe the most excellent Bodhicitta (mind of enlightenment) of the Bodhisattvas and good deeds such as giving, and attain correspondence with non-self in all dharmas. This mindfulness is the most excellent. Briefly speaking, this is called the ‘Four Foundations of Mindfulness’ (Cattāro satipaṭṭhānā). Other dharmas should also be understood in the same way. The ‘Four Right Exertions’ (Cattāri samyakprahāṇāni) refer to what is to be counteracted, which are not factors of enlightenment. That is, for what has already arisen (unwholesome dharmas), cause them to be abandoned; for what has not yet arisen (unwholesome dharmas), cause them not to arise. This is called ‘diligent abandonment’ of two unwholesome dharmas. For what is not to be counteracted, which are factors of enlightenment, for what has not yet arisen (wholesome dharmas), cause them to arise; for what has already arisen (wholesome dharmas), cause them to increase. This is called ‘diligent cultivation’ of two wholesome dharmas. Briefly speaking, this is called the ‘Four Right Exertions’. The ‘Four Bases of Supernormal Powers’ (Catvāra ṛddhipādāḥ) refer to desire, diligence, samādhi (concentration), and wisdom. By practicing in accordance with these, the resulting fruit is enhanced. With what is attained, one observes the objects of desire, etc., which are the four types of samādhi. And their body and mind are separated from all dependencies, dwelling in thoughts of detachment from greed, relying on quiescence, and acting without action. Briefly speaking, this is called the ‘Four Bases of Supernormal Powers’. The ‘Five Roots’ (Pañca indriyāṇi) and ‘Five Powers’ (Pañca balāni) are the understanding of all characteristics and results. They refer to the roots and powers of faith, diligence, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom, etc., which are enhanced and in harmony. Briefly speaking, this is called the ‘Five Roots’ and ‘Five Powers’. Furthermore, what is cultivated here are the two stages of realization, namely the stage of warmth and the stage of the peak. In the stage of warmth, one cultivates the Four Foundations of Mindfulness; in the stage of the peak, one cultivates the Four Right Exertions. There are also two superior stages of realization, namely the stage of forbearance and the stage of the highest mundane dharma. In the stage of forbearance, one cultivates the Four Bases of Supernormal Powers; in the stage of the highest mundane dharma, one cultivates the Five Roots and Five Powers. They act without action in this way, which is the most supreme truth. The roots and powers of faith, etc., are the causes and conditions for the path of seeing. It should be known that what is cultivated in the path of seeing is the Seven Factors of Enlightenment. The ‘Seven Factors of Enlightenment’ (Sapta bodhyaṅgāni) are the mindfulness factor of enlightenment up to the equanimity factor of enlightenment. Among these, the ‘Mindfulness Factor of Enlightenment’ (Smṛti-sambodhyanga) refers to the aspiration to benefit sentient beings and attain enlightenment, maintaining right mindfulness in the present moment, without forgetting. The ‘Discrimination of Dharma Factor of Enlightenment’ (Dharma-vicaya-sambodhyanga) refers to the characteristic of discerning the nature of self and dharma. The ‘Joy Factor of Enlightenment’ (Prīti-sambodhyanga) refers to the joy and happiness arising from the unconditioned cause obtained through one's own cultivation of the path. The ‘Tranquility Factor of Enlightenment’ (Praśrabdhi-sambodhyanga) refers to the true dharma as it is realized. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
