Keeping away from all evil deeds, cultivation of life by doing good deeds and purification of mind from mental impurities. Because a Bodhisattva who gives a gift should not be supported by a thing, nor should he be supported anywhere.The great being should give gifts in such a way that he is not supported by the notion of a sign and why ? Because the heap of merit of that bodhi-being, who unsupported gives a gift, is not easy to measure Being deeply learned and skilled, being well trained and using well spoken words; this is good luck. Being generous, just helping one's relatives and being blameless in one's actions; this is the best good luck. Beings are owners of their action, heirs of their action. But to take refuge in the Buddha, the Dhammas and the Sangha and to see with real understanding the four noble truths Deny the passport, throw it away and make a great decision that you will not leave this shore until and unless you have liberated all the human beings. Do not speak thus, Subhuti ! Yes, even then there will be of beings who, when these words of the sutra are being taught, will understand their truth. For even at that time, Subhuti, there will be Bodhisattvas.And these Bodhisattvas, Subhuti, will not be such as have honoured only one single Buddha, nor such as have planted their roots of merit under one single Buddha. From the Dharma should one see the Buddhas, From the dharma-bodies come their guidance. Yet dharma's true nature cannot be discerened and no one can be conscious of it as an object. I am the miracle. |
