HS – Buddha manifests



Buddha manifests all bodies
According to sentient being's minds,
Attaining the Way, teaching the truth,
And finally passing utterly away.
The Buddhas are inconceivable:
Who can conceive of the Buddhas?
Who can see the Truly Awake?
Who can manifest the Supreme?

All things are thus,
And so are the states of the Buddhas;
There is not a single thing in thusness
that has birth or death.

Sentient beings erroneously discriminate:
"This is Buddha," "this is the world."
For one realizing the true nature of things
There is no Buddha and no world.

The Realizer of Thusness appears before all
Causing sentient beings to believe and rejoice.
But the essence of Buddha is ungraspable,
And they are not seeing anything either.

If one can, in the world,
Depart from attachments,
With unimpeded mind, joyful,
One will awaken to the truth.

That manifested by spiritual power
Is what is called Buddha:
Though one search in all times, past, present, or future,
It has no existence at all.

If one can know in this way
The mind and all things,
One will know and see all
And soon become enlightened.
