Ananda should know that the Tathagata has attained samyak-sambodhi; his wisdom is immeasurable and can guide and govern us; his wisdom meets no obstacles and no one can constrain or extinguish it; by having just one meal, he can extend his lifespan for countless kalpas and the sea-like Absolute Truth is innumerable.

All dharma will manifest if they transcend worldly truth. It’s my long-lasting vow to abide in the world and transform living beings, take pity on everything and every being, and universally and compassionately transform sentient beings with speech.

We should make offerings to the Buddhas and manifest in their forms like lightning. Learn the net of fearlessness and understand the changeable dharma. Be replete with countless achievements and abide by all the hundreds of thousands of Samadhi and the wisdom of all consciousnesses.

Seeing old age, sickness, and death, Prince Siddhattha realized that the world is impermanent. So he abandoned his properties and position in his country and went to cultivate in the mountains. He returned the white horse, jewel hat and pearl necklace to the palace. Then he took off the precious, wondrous clothes and put on the monastic robe. He shaved his beard and hair, sat straight under the tree, and cultivated hard for six years. He did what a cultivator should do and manifested the form of a monastic.

All dharma arise from the mind. The mind gives rise to nothing. Dharma abide in nowhere. If you act from the bottom of your heart and act based on your nature, you will meet no obstacles and you are living in the Pure Land.
