English version: It is truly the ultimate. The skandhas (aggregates) of form, feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness have not yet received the Master's instructions and entrustment. I only wish that the Master would be compassionate and merciful, clearly instructing and liberating sentient beings from their bonds. The Buddha said to the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva (great being) Wu Ai (unobstructed): 'Form' is the same as the four great elements (earth, water, fire, and wind). Now I will further explain feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness for you. 'Feeling' is without discrimination. Because there is no discrimination, gains and losses, right and wrong, sameness and difference are all received together. Receiving together is called 'compliance'. Compliance leads to liberation. Falsely distinguishing gains and losses, right and wrong, is called continuing bondage, and is also called the root of illness. 'Perception' is imagining the good and bad, gains and losses, fragrance and foulness of all realms (objects of perception), grasping them all without discrimination. Because there is no discrimination, one can universally perceive. Perceiving as if there is no gap is called liberation. Falsely discriminating is called the root of suffering. 'Mental formations' are traveling through the two realms of right and wrong, gains and losses together, not turning away from wrong, preserving right, therefore it is called liberation. Going against this, complying with a certain situation, is called the root of illness. 'Consciousness' is universally perceiving the doors of the six roots (eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind), not discriminating between defilement and purity. Not discriminating between defilement and purity, allowing the roots to be used as they are, is called liberation. If one goes against any one root, that is the root of illness. Why is this so? Complying as if there is no resistance is called embodied understanding (understanding of the truth). Embodied understanding has no bondage, flowing according to one's own nature. Flowing according to one's own nature, therefore all bodily forms, greed, hatred, and delusion are all uses of liberation.' The Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Wu Ai said to the Buddha: 'The 'compliance' that the World Honored One speaks of, with what 'compliance' does one comply with 'compliance'? And you say 'flowing according to one's own nature', with what 'following' does one follow the flow of one's own nature? The Sage's words are subtle and profound, and I cannot understand them. I only wish that you would instruct me so that I may submit to embodied understanding.' The Buddha said to the Bodhisattva Mahāsattva Wu Ai: 'The question you ask is of great benefit. Now I will clearly expound it for you. You ask about 'compliance', with what 'compliance' does one comply with 'compliance'? It is with the compliance of one's own nature that one complies with one's own nature. Therefore, know that complying with one's nature is a sage, and going against one's nature is a common person. With one's nature complying with one's nature, there is no compliance, no nature. Based on going against, it is called compliance. When going against disappears, compliance also ceases to exist, and that is liberation. Going against is called continuing karma, and complying is called the bondage of karma. Since continuing bondage disappears, liberation also ceases to exist.' You also say 'flowing according to one's own nature', with what 'following' does one follow the flow of one's own nature? It is with the following of one's own nature that one follows the flow of one's own nature. Therefore, the image appears at the doors of the six roots, universally existing within the body. With following, one follows, and following is all-pervasive. Because it is all-pervasive, one's nature follows the flow of one's own nature.' At that time, the World Honored One spoke. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

是法时。上至顶天下尽六欲宫殿振动。无量大众不觉喜踊投身佛前。 于时众中有一无垢大士名曰灵真。奋迅哮吼猛无畏力如白佛言。如此体解之人当生何处。 佛告灵真曰。如此体解者别教所不摄。当生翅头未城弥勒佛国化城之内。耳餐零向出没随佛。 显一切众生身内有佛父母品第六 复次无碍菩萨摩诃萨白佛言。世尊如上所说体解归真。一切身相皆解脱用。一切众生分段以下依因父母如有身相。身相既显名身为解脱用。若一切众生身相悉解脱者。此解脱依因父母如便有之。故知应佛缘佛报佛亦有父母。何以然者。应佛缘佛报佛有出生故。以有出生毕有父母。若佛有父母者。唯愿说之。 佛告无碍菩萨摩诃萨曰。汝言问道一切众生依因父母如得增长名为解脱者。以此类之比校置问。吾今为汝广开显示。真处虽一立名无量。名虽无量皆从感基如起。今为感开通名为父母。所以者何。一切众生身内佛父母者。太阳真极已为父。无碍神性已为母。寂照已为父。照寂已为母。天真已为父。零宅已为母。如此父母出生应佛缘佛报佛真一无名。为引未悟以名名之。名起不足名灭有余。 无碍菩萨摩诃萨白佛言。世尊说太阳真极已为父。无碍神性已为母。寂照已为父。照寂已为母。天真已 现代汉语译本：当宣讲此法时，上至顶天，下至六欲天宫殿都震动起来。无数大众不由自主地欢喜跳跃，投身于佛前。 这时，大众中有一位无垢大士，名叫灵真（Lingzhen，意为灵妙的真理）。他奋迅怒吼，以勇猛无畏的力量向佛说道：‘如此体悟解脱之人，应当往生何处？’ 佛告诉灵真（Lingzhen）说：‘如此体悟解脱之人，不被别教所摄。当往生翅头未城（Chitouwei City）弥勒佛国（Maitreya Buddha's Land）的化城之内，以耳根听闻佛法，出没随顺于佛。’ 显一切众生身内有佛父母品第六 无碍菩萨摩诃萨（Unobstructed Bodhisattva-Mahasattva）又对佛说：‘世尊，如上所说，体悟解脱归于真如，一切身相皆是解脱之用。一切众生从分段生死以下，依因父母而有身相。身相既然显现，名为解脱之用。若一切众生的身相都已解脱，那么这解脱所依的父母又该如何存在呢？因此可知，应佛（Response Body Buddha）、缘佛（Conditioned Body Buddha）、报佛（Reward Body Buddha）也有父母。为什么这样说呢？应佛、缘佛、报佛有出生，因为有出生必定有父母。如果佛有父母，唯愿世尊为我们解说。’ 佛告诉无碍菩萨摩诃萨（Unobstructed Bodhisattva-Mahasattva）说：‘你问道一切众生依因父母才能增长，名为解脱。你以此类比来提问。我现在为你广开显示。真如之处虽然只有一个，但所立之名却有无量。名虽无量，皆从感应之基础上生起。现在为了感应而开显，统名为父母。这是什么缘故呢？一切众生身内的佛父母是：太阳真极（Taiyang Zhenji，太阳的真实本源）已为父，无碍神性（Unobstructed Divine Nature）已为母；寂照（Stillness and Illumination）已为父，照寂（Illumination and Stillness）已为母；天真（Natural Truth）已为父，零宅（Zero Abode）已为母。如此父母所出生的是应佛、缘佛、报佛，其真如本性是无名无相的。为了引导尚未觉悟之人，才以名来称呼它。名的生起不足以完全表达，名的消灭也还有剩余。’ 无碍菩萨摩诃萨（Unobstructed Bodhisattva-Mahasattva）对佛说：‘世尊说太阳真极（Taiyang Zhenji）已为父，无碍神性（Unobstructed Divine Nature）已为母，寂照（Stillness and Illumination）已为父，照寂（Illumination and Stillness）已为母，天真（Natural Truth）已

English version: At the time when this Dharma was being preached, from the highest heavens down to the palaces of the six desire realms, everything trembled. Countless beings, without realizing it, joyfully leaped and threw themselves before the Buddha. At that time, among the assembly, there was a great Bodhisattva of immaculate purity named Lingzhen (灵真, meaning 'spiritual truth'). He roared with vigorous and fearless power and said to the Buddha, 'Where should such a person who embodies understanding and liberation be born?' The Buddha told Lingzhen (灵真), 'Such a person who embodies understanding and liberation is not encompassed by other teachings. They shall be born within the Transformation City of Maitreya Buddha's Land (弥勒佛国, Maitreya Buddha's Land) in Chitouwei City (翅头未城). They will nourish themselves by hearing the Dharma and emerge and disappear following the Buddha.' Chapter Six: Revealing That All Beings Possess Buddha-Parents Within Their Bodies Furthermore, the Unobstructed Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (无碍菩萨摩诃萨) said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, as mentioned above, embodying understanding returns to the true nature, and all forms are the function of liberation. All beings, from the stage of segmented existence downwards, rely on their parents for their physical form. Since the physical form is manifested, it is called the function of liberation. If all beings' physical forms are liberated, then how can these parents, upon whom liberation depends, exist? Therefore, it can be known that the Response Body Buddha (应佛), the Conditioned Body Buddha (缘佛), and the Reward Body Buddha (报佛) also have parents. Why is this so? Because the Response Body Buddha, the Conditioned Body Buddha, and the Reward Body Buddha have birth, and because there is birth, there must be parents. If the Buddhas have parents, I beseech you to explain them.' The Buddha told the Unobstructed Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (无碍菩萨摩诃萨), 'You ask how all beings rely on their parents to grow and call it liberation. You use this analogy to ask your question. Now I will broadly reveal and explain it to you. Although the true place is one, the names established are countless. Although the names are countless, they all arise from the basis of responsiveness. Now, for the sake of responsiveness and revelation, they are collectively called parents. Why is this so? The Buddha-parents within the bodies of all beings are: the True Ultimate of the Sun (太阳真极, Taiyang Zhenji) is the father, and Unobstructed Divine Nature (无碍神性) is the mother; Stillness and Illumination (寂照) is the father, and Illumination and Stillness (照寂) is the mother; Natural Truth (天真) is the father, and Zero Abode (零宅) is the mother. The Response Body Buddha, the Conditioned Body Buddha, and the Reward Body Buddha are born from such parents, and their true nature is nameless and formless. To guide those who are not yet enlightened, names are used to call them. The arising of names is insufficient to fully express it, and the cessation of names still leaves something remaining.' The Unobstructed Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (无碍菩萨摩诃萨) said to the Buddha, 'World Honored One, you said that the True Ultimate of the Sun (太阳真极, Taiyang Zhenji) is the father, and Unobstructed Divine Nature (无碍神性) is the mother, Stillness and Illumination (寂照) is the father, and Illumination and Stillness (照寂) is the mother, Natural Truth (天真) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
