Wisdom Pure Like Empty Space
The verse continues with wisdom pure like empty space and a mind that extinguishes every poison of the heart, seeking nothing for its own peace but only the liberation of every living being. Two similes anchor the passage's close: a mind entrusted by every buddha of the three periods of time, abiding within an unsurpassed city of the Dharma, and a mind that moves through the world unobstructed, exactly as wind moves unobstructed through empty space.
Wind Through Empty Space
The verse gathers a series of images for a mind that has stopped clinging entirely — pure like empty space, transcending the three realms of existence, free of every poison, unattached to any dharma inner or outer. Its clearest image arrives near the close: just as wind moves through empty space without any obstruction at all, the great being's own use of mind moves through the world in exactly the same way, everywhere present and nowhere caught.
智慧清淨如虛空，修習無邊大士行，
如佛所行諸行法，彼人如是常修學。
大士遊行諸世界，悉能安隱諸群生，
普使一切皆歡喜，修菩薩行無厭足。
除滅一切諸心毒，思惟修習最上智，
不為自己求安樂，但願眾生得離苦。
此人迴向得究竟，心常清淨離眾毒，
三世如來所付囑，住於無上大法城。
未曾染著於諸色，受想行識亦如是，
其心永出於三有，所有功德盡迴向。
佛所知見諸眾生，盡皆攝取無有餘，
誓願皆令得解脫，為彼修行大歡喜。
"Their wisdom pure like empty space, they cultivate the great being's boundless conduct; just as the Buddha himself practices every conduct and dharma, that person forever studies and cultivates in just this way. The great being travels throughout every world, entirely able to bring peace and security to every kind of living being; universally causing all to rejoice, they cultivate the bodhisattva's own conduct without ever tiring or being satisfied. Extinguishing every poison of the mind entirely, they contemplate and cultivate the most supreme wisdom; not seeking peace and happiness for their own self, but wishing only that living beings attain freedom from suffering. This person's dedication reaches the ultimate end, their mind forever pure and free from every poison; entrusted by every Tathāgata of the three periods of time, they abide within the unsurpassed great city of the Dharma. Never once defiled or attached to any form, and likewise for feeling, perception, mental formations, and consciousness; their mind forever transcends the three realms of existence, dedicating every single merit entirely. Every living being known and seen by the Buddha, they gather in entirely, leaving none out at all; vowing to cause them all to attain liberation, they cultivate practice for their sake with great joy.
其心念念恒安住，智慧廣大無與等，
離癡正念常寂然，一切諸業皆清淨。
彼諸菩薩處於世，不著內外一切法，
如風無礙行於空，大士用心亦復然。
所有身業皆清淨，一切語言無過失，
心常歸向於如來，能令諸佛悉歡喜。
十方無量諸國土，所有佛處皆往詣，
於中覩見大悲尊，靡不恭敬而瞻奉。
心常清淨離諸失，普入世間無所畏，
已住如來無上道，復為三有大法池。
Their mind, in thought after thought, forever remains well settled; their wisdom vast and expansive, unequaled by any; free of delusion, their right mindfulness forever tranquil, every one of their karmic deeds entirely pure. Those bodhisattvas, dwelling in the world, cling to no dharma at all, whether inner or outer; just as the wind moves unobstructed through empty space, so too is the great being's use of mind, just the same. Every bodily karmic deed of theirs is entirely pure; every word they speak is without any fault; their mind forever turns toward the Tathāgata, and is able to cause every buddha to rejoice entirely. Throughout the immeasurable lands of the ten directions, they go to every single place where a buddha dwells; beholding, within each, the greatly compassionate Honored One, there is none they fail to revere and honor. Their mind forever pure and free of every fault, they universally enter the world without any fear; already abiding in the Tathāgata's own unsurpassed path, they become, for the three realms of existence, a great Dharma-pool."
"A great Dharma-pool for the three realms of existence" closes this section with an image gentler than the earlier vow to enter hell, but built on the same logic — a pool, like the earth before it, exists to be drawn from by whoever approaches it, without selecting who deserves the water. The wind-through-space simile just before it explains how such availability is even possible without exhaustion: the wind is not diminished by moving through space, because space offers it no resistance to overcome.
Part 223 Complete
This closes Part 223. Chapter 25 continues in Part 224 as the verse reaches its final stanzas, describing a bodhisattva who understands existence and non-existence together, and closes the first dedication with every buddha throughout the ten directions praising this very teaching.
