Every Doubt Dispelled, Fascicle 29 Complete
The verse recapitulating the seventh dedication reaches its final couplet — brief, but carrying the weight of everything that came before it. The bodhisattvas described throughout this dedication are named directly at last: true children of the Buddha, born not by ordinary birth but through the Tathāgata's own Dharma, whose skillful dedication dispels every doubt the world could hold.
True Children of the Buddha
After forty lines tracing giving, equality, emptiness, and the end of discrimination, the verse closes with a single image: not a doctrine to grasp but a lineage to belong to — those "born through the Tathāgata's own Dharma," whose very manner of dedicating what they have accomplished is itself what dispels doubt in the world, rather than any further argument or proof.
如是真實諸佛子,從於如來法化生,
彼能如是善迴向,世間疑惑悉除滅。」
Such true children of the Buddha, born and transformed through the Tathāgata's own Dharma, who are able to dedicate skillfully in this way, extinguish and dispel every doubt and confusion in the world entirely."
"Born and transformed through the Tathāgata's own Dharma" (從於如來法化生) is the same phrase this project has met before in describing what a good spiritual friend, or the household of the Tathāgata, actually is — not a matter of ordinary lineage but of a birth that happens through hearing and practicing the Dharma itself. The verse's very last claim is that this kind of birth, made visible in skillful dedication, is what settles the world's doubt — not argument, but demonstration.
