Because beings have different capacities and different natures, the realms illuminated by the lamp are also boundless. Therefore, there are billions of Śākyamuni (founder of Buddhism), and as many Samādhi (meditative states) as dust particles. Bodhisattvas (those who have generated Bodhicitta and aspire to Buddhahood) use Vajra-like (diamond-like) determination to encompass all Samādhi. The pure wisdom like the white moon merges mysteriously with the Dharmakāya (the body of truth of the Buddha), rapidly elevating the stages of practice, approaching the Mahābodhi (the great enlightenment of the Buddha). This is the extraordinary aspect of this Dharma gate.", "", "The Héshàng (a respectful title for monks) paid homage to sacred sites everywhere, practiced in vast and desolate lands, unafraid of hardship, visiting each site three times. He ordained Kāśyapa (an important disciple in Buddhism), and received the touch of Avalokiteśvara (a Bodhisattva in Buddhism) on his head. He once observed the summer retreat on Gṛdhrakūṭa Mountain (a sacred mountain in Buddhism). A fierce beast blocked his path, he went deep into a cave, the cave was as bright as day, and he saw a standing statue of Muni (short for Śākyamuni), with attendants on either side, lifelike in appearance. There was a great drought in Madhya-deśa (ancient central India), and the king requested the Héshàng to pray for rain. The great saint Avalokiteśvara, in the moon disc, held a kuṇḍikā (water bottle) in his hand, pouring water onto the ground. He was once moved to tears under the Śāla trees (where the Buddha entered Nirvana). When asked about people from the time of the Buddha, they were unwilling to speak, only one out of ten would say anything. He forged gold into palm leaves (used for writing scriptures), and wrote the Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra (the collection of Prajñāpāramitā Sutras). He built a Stupa (Buddhist monument) of silver, equal in size to the Buddha's body. The Queen Mother (the king's mother) thought the Héshàng had passed away, and cried until she went blind, but later sent a letter of inquiry and learned that the Héshàng was safe and well. After the Mahāvīra (one of the titles of Śākyamuni) entered Nirvana, Tīrthikas (religions or philosophies outside of Buddhism) flourished, with ninety-six sects, each adhering to their own views. The Héshàng, according to what they were attached to, gave teachings, dispelling their doubts, freeing their minds from the bondage of wrong views, and leading them back from the path of delusion to the path of enlightenment. His Dharma, like Dharma clouds, nourishes all equally, regardless of size; his Samādhi water, fills all vessels, regardless of shape. He destroyed the flags and drums of heterodoxies, and established the victorious banner of the mind-king, enabling them to control their wild minds with right mindfulness, and to contemplate the Buddha in their present bodies. His teacher (referring to the Héshàng's teacher) said happily: 'Good man, --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
