The Three Realms are like dreamed lands. The short, illusory life is like a dream. Adversity and favorable circumstances, bitterness and happiness, ups and downs, gains and losses, all these are in dreams.

Although you match the True Suchness, realize the Three Paths and eliminate the Two Delusions in an instant, you should always be diligent as if you would break a plank and penetrate a stone. Do not idle away inside the Wondrous Gate.

Vimalakirti asks Bodhisattvas, “Benevolent ones, how do Bodhisattvas enter the No
ndualism?”
Shanshan Bodhisattva answers, “The good body, speech and thought are different. These three karmas arise naturally without one’s thinking. The body arises naturally without one’s thinking, and so does the speech. The speech arises naturally without one’s thinking, and so does the thought. If these three arise naturally without one’s thinking, then all dharma do, too. If you can follow the one that doesn’t intend to appeal to wisdom, you are entering the Nondualism.”
Vimalakirti asks Bodhisattvas, “Benevolent ones, how do Bodhisattvas enter the Nondualism?” Diantien Bodhisattva answers, “Wisdom and non-wisdom are different. The genuine nature of non-wisdom is wisdom, which can neither be attained nor be counted. If you can see that wisdom and non-wisdom are the same and equal, you are entering the Nondualism.”
Vimalakirti asks Bodhisattvas, “Benevolent ones, how do Bodhisattvas enter the Nondualism?”
Shenhuei Bodhisattva answers, “Emptiness, non-form and non-action are different. But emptiness is non-form, and non-form is non-action. If you have established the concept of emptiness, you will understand the true meaning of non-form and non-action, and the mind consciousness will not arise. When you have entered a liberation gate, you are entering three. In doing so, you have entered the Nondualism.”
Vimalakirti asks Bodhisattvas, “Benevolent ones, how do Bodhisattvas enter the Nondualism?” Fusha Bodhisattva answers, “Goodness and badness are different. But if you don’t give rise to the thought of goodness and badness, and enter the realm of non-form and master it, then you are entering the Nondualism.”
Humility and silence is Stopping. Praise, mock, slander, honor, benefit, declination, bitterness, happiness, all these are the magic formula for tolerance.
Tranquility is for us to bear Dharma Realm in mind and enjoy everything. The mustard seed can contain the universe. Broadness and narrowness are no different.
Rid yourself of your complacement and train yourself to practice Dharma diligently without any destabilizing. The body is the ware for countless blessing and merits, and the mind is the field for countless blessing and merits.
If your mind is pure, then the Buddha Land is pure, too, and tens of thousands of Buddhas will manifest. Remember to be mindful of the holy names of Buddhas and cultivate your merits and dharma nature. Everything is made by the mind. If you have Buddhas in your heart, the outer realms will be full of Buddhas and will become pure lands.
Everyone has inherently true Buddha nature which is a bright glaze prajna boat. But it is tied with long-lasting ignorance, causing the enlightened soul to be covered by self-adherence and improper thoughts. The Six Consciousnesses are covered with contamination due to debauchery. The Dharma drum and dawn bell remind the travellers to return to their origin, their home.

The Buddha tells Manjusri, ” Manjusri, when adjusting a weak tree, turn it according to the direction of the wind and don’t worry about the tree being destroyed. Bodhisattvas can conveniently follow the habits of living beings and are not afraid of falling into the realm of the Sravakas or Pratyeka-buddhas.
Manjusri! This is like following the direction of the water flow. Manjusri! Non-arrogance Bodhisattva also does the same thing. Follow all wisdoms.”

The Buddha tells Manjusri, ” Manjusri, the trees and mountains in the Jamba Realm can’t withstand the swirly mist and strong wind. When Bodhisattvas are lecturing on the incredible Buddhist Dharma, cultivators, enlightened cultivators, Sravakas, and Pratyeka-buddhas can’t believe and understand it without the Buddhas’ support. If they do, they are supported by the Buddhas.”

Manjusri tells Subhuti, “Virtuous Subhuti, Bodhisattvas were born from kind hearts, which is also the increase of the prajna paramita ware.”
Subhuti asks, “What do the Bodhisattvas increase?” Manjusri answers, “Just like the growth of the empty space, Bodhisattvas neither increase nor decrease. Why ? Because they don’t increase vexations and don’t retreat from Dharma, either.”

Subhuti asks Manjusri, “What’s the difference between Buddhist Dharma and Samyojana (meeting of many strands that cause afflictions)?” Manjusri answers, “Virtuous Subhuti! Like the king of the Sumeru Mountain, the light shines on the
places that are of the same color, the color of gold. All Samyojana shone by the prajna light are also of the same color, the color of the Buddhist Dharma. So, if observed by prajna wisdom, the Buddhist Dharma and the Samyojana are the same. All dharma are Buddhist Dharma.”
