What Beings Can Scarcely Hear
The portrait of the bodhisattva in the Unobstructed Wheel Samādhi continues and then turns: from description to a direct address naming, one by one, exactly what this samādhi does — and closing on the claim that toward every realm it attains nothing at all.
What Beings Can Scarcely Hear
Part 532 closed on power beyond conception; Part 533 opens on the same power seen from the outside — what it looks like to a being who cannot hear it, next to what it looks like from within, where it has already been entered.
一切諸佛自在威神，眾生難聞，菩薩悉知入不二門住無相法；雖復永捨一切諸相，而能廣說種種諸法，隨諸眾生心樂欲解，悉使調伏，咸令歡喜。
The sovereign, awesome spiritual power of all buddhas is something beings can scarcely hear of, yet the bodhisattva knows it fully, entering the gate of non-duality and abiding in the signless dharma. Though he has forever relinquished every mark, he is still able to expound the manifold dharmas at length, according to what each being's mind delights in and wishes to understand, taming them all and making them all rejoice.
法界為身無有分別，智慧境界不可窮盡，志常勇猛，心恒平等。見一切佛功德邊際，了一切劫差別次第，開示一切法，安住一切剎，嚴淨一切諸佛國土，顯現一切正法光明，演去、來、今一切佛法，示諸菩薩所住之處。
The dharma-realm is his body, undivided by discrimination; the realm of his wisdom cannot be exhausted. His resolve is ever courageous, his mind is ever impartial. He sees to the very limit of every buddha's merit and comprehends the distinct order of every kalpa; he reveals every dharma, abides securely in every land, adorns and purifies every buddha-land, and displays everywhere the light of the true dharma; he expounds every buddha-dharma of the past, future, and present, and shows where the bodhisattvas dwell.
入不二門住無相法；雖復永捨一切諸相，而能廣說種種諸法 — entering the gate of non-duality and abiding in the signless dharma, though he has relinquished every mark, he still expounds the manifold dharmas at length. The same shape as Part 532's 不由他悟, self-realized rather than taught: here it is teaching itself that survives the relinquishing of every mark, rather than being cancelled by it.
Born Within Every Realm of Being
The portrait keeps naming what he is before it names what he does — a lamp, a guest in the presence of buddhas, a mind unmoved toward any dharma.
為世明燈，生諸善根，永離世間，常生佛所，得佛智慧明了第一。一切諸佛皆共攝受，已入未來諸佛之數，從諸善友而得出生，所有志求皆無不果。
He is a bright lamp for the world, giving rise to every wholesome root; forever leaving the world behind, he is constantly born in the presence of buddhas, attaining the buddha's wisdom, clear and foremost. All buddhas together embrace and receive him; he has already entered the ranks of the buddhas yet to come. He comes forth from true spiritual friends, and everything he aspires to and seeks meets with success.
具大威德，住增上意，隨所聽聞咸能善說，亦為開示聞法善根。住實際輪，於一切法心無障礙；不捨諸行，離諸分別，於一切法心無動念。得智慧明滅諸癡闇，悉能明照一切佛法，不壞諸有而生其中，了知一切諸有境界。
Endowed with great, awesome virtue, he abides in an ever-ascending resolve; whatever he hears he is able to expound well, and he also reveals the wholesome roots for hearing the dharma. He abides in the wheel of ultimate reality, his mind meeting no obstruction toward any dharma; he does not abandon his practices, yet is free of discrimination, his mind never wavering toward any dharma. He attains the bright wisdom that extinguishes every darkness of delusion, able to illuminate all buddha-dharmas clearly; without destroying the realms of existence, he takes birth within them, fully knowing every one of those realms.
不壞諸有而生其中 — without destroying the realms of existence, he takes birth within them. 諸有, the realms of existence, is the ordinary Buddhist term for the wheel of birth-and-death itself. He does not need to abolish it to be free within it — the line quietly refuses the reading where liberation means the world has to go.
This Attains Nothing at All
The passage names the paradox before it states it outright — words that never break the wordless dharma, wisdom as the bridge to a wisdom already possessed — and then the address changes register entirely, into a list spoken straight to "Sons of the Buddha."
從本已來無有動作，身、語、意業皆悉無邊，雖隨世俗演說種種無量文字，而恒不壞離文字法。深入佛海，知一切法但有假名，於諸境界無繫無著；了一切法空無所有，所修諸行從法界生，猶如虛空無相無形。
深入法界隨順演說，於一境門生一切智，觀十力地以智修學，智為橋梁至薩婆若，以智慧眼見法無礙，善入諸地知種種義，一一法門悉得明了，所有大願靡不成就。
From the very beginning he has never stirred, yet his deeds of body, speech, and mind are all boundless; though he speaks in measureless words according to worldly convention, he never departs from the dharma that is free of words. He enters deeply into the ocean of the buddha, knowing that all dharmas have only provisional names, and toward every realm he is bound by nothing and attached to nothing; understanding that all dharmas are empty and without anything at all, the practices he cultivates arise from the dharma-realm itself, like empty space — without mark, without form.
Entering the dharma-realm deeply, he expounds the teaching in accord with beings; from a single gateway of objects he gives rise to all wisdom. Contemplating the ground of the ten powers, he cultivates and studies through wisdom, wisdom itself the bridge to all-knowing wisdom; with the eye of wisdom he sees the dharma without obstruction, skillfully entering every ground and knowing its manifold meanings, so that every single dharma-gate becomes clear to him, and there is not one great vow he fails to fulfill.
「佛子！菩薩摩訶薩以此開示一切如來無差別性，此是無礙方便之門，此能出生菩薩眾會，此法唯是三昧境界，此能勇進入薩婆若，此能開顯諸三昧門，此能無礙普入諸剎，此能調伏一切眾生，此能住於無眾生際，此能開示一切佛法，此於境界皆無所得。
"Sons of the Buddha! By means of this, the bodhisattva-mahāsattva reveals the undifferentiated nature of all tathāgatas. This is the gateway of unobstructed skillful means; this gives rise to assemblies of bodhisattvas; this dharma is nothing other than the realm of samādhi; this makes possible a courageous advance into all-knowing wisdom; this opens and reveals the gateways of every samādhi; this allows unobstructed entry into every land everywhere; this is able to tame every being; this makes it possible to abide at the limit where no being is found; this reveals every buddha-dharma; and toward every realm, this attains nothing at all.
此於境界皆無所得 — toward every realm, this attains nothing at all. Ten lines beginning 此, "this," listing what the samādhi accomplishes — assemblies gathered, beings tamed, every buddha-dharma revealed — and the list ends by taking all of it back. Nothing named in the nine lines before it was ever something held onto.
薩婆若 — all-knowing wisdom, sarvajñā transliterated rather than translated in Part 495's note; here it appears twice within a few lines, once as the destination wisdom serves as a bridge toward, once as what a courageous advance enters. The text treats 一切智 and 薩婆若 as the same attainment named twice.
Part 533 Complete
This continues chapter twenty-seven, 十定品, The Ten Concentrations, in fascicle forty-three. Part 534 opens a long run of paired lines built on the same hinge as this part's close — 雖知...而... , "though he knows... yet he..." — each one holding emptiness and speech, sameness and difference, together without contradiction.
