HS - Buddha's knowledge

All things have no differentiation;
No one can know them:
Only among Buddhas are they known,
Because Buddha's knowledge is ultimate.

Just as gold and gold color
Are in essence no different,
So also phenomena and non-phenomena
Are in essence no different.

Sentient beings and not sentient beings
Are both without reality:
In this way the natures of all things
In truth are non-existent.

Just as the future
Has not the marks of the past,
So also do all things
Not have any marks.

Just as the signs of birth and death
Are all unreal
So also are all things
Void of intrinsic nature.

Nirvana cannot be grasped,
But when spoken of there are two kinds,
So it is of all things:
Empty of intrinsic nature.

Just as based on something counted
There exists a way of counting,
Their nature is non-existent:
Thus are phenomena perfectly known.

It's like the method of counting,
Adding one, up to infinity;
The numbers have no substantial nature:
They are distinguished due to intellect.

Just as the worlds have an end
When burnt in the final holocaust
Yet space is not destroyed,
So is the Buddha's knowledge.

These sentient beings of the universe,
Each grasp characteristics of space;
So it is of the Buddhas,
Worldlings conceive of them arbitrarily.
