Fascicle Sixty-Two Complete
Well-Abiding closes with a promise almost too large to hold: whoever simply sees his form is assured of enlightenment. And still he calls his own attainment a single gate, set against twenty kinds of precept that name a bodhisattva's own path to somewhere he has not gone — before sending Good-Wealth south once more, to a layman named Megha.
Enlightenment, Merely by Seeing
Well-Abiding's own reach extends past teaching or offering into something more direct: any sentient being who simply catches sight of his form, in any of these unspeakably many worlds, is guaranteed unsurpassed enlightenment — no further condition attached.
一一如來所有宣說，我皆受持；一一國土所有莊嚴，我皆憶念。如東方，南、西、北方，四維、上、下，亦復如是。如是一切諸世界中所有眾生，若見我形，皆決定得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提。彼諸世界一切眾生，我皆明見，隨其大小、勝劣、苦樂，示同其形，教化成就。若有眾生親近我者，悉令安住如是法門。
"Every one of those tathāgatas' own proclamations, I uphold entirely; every one of those lands' own adornments, I call to mind entirely. And just as in the eastern direction, so too in the south, west, and north, the four intermediate directions, above, and below. As for every sentient being present within all these worlds — if they see my own form, they are all assured of attaining unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment. Every sentient being in all those worlds, I see clearly and entirely; according to their own size, whether superior or inferior, whether in suffering or joy, I manifest a form the same as their own, teaching and transforming them to accomplishment. If there is any sentient being who draws near to me, I cause every one of them to abide securely in this very dharma-gate.
若見我形，皆決定得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提 — if they see my own form, they are all assured of attaining unsurpassed, perfect enlightenment. No hearing of dharma is named as a condition here, no practice, no vow — sight alone is enough. Among everything this fascicle's teachers have claimed, this may be the single largest promise attached to the smallest possible act.
Twenty Precepts, and a Layman Named Megha
Well-Abiding's own confession of limitation is framed, unusually, entirely in terms of precepts — twenty of them, from great compassion to freedom from defilement — before he sends Good-Wealth onward one final time, to a country, a city, and a layman whose name means cloud.
「善男子！我唯知此普速疾供養諸佛成就眾生無礙解脫門。如諸菩薩持大悲戒、波羅蜜戒、大乘戒、菩薩道相應戒、無障礙戒、不退墮戒、不捨菩提心戒、常以佛法為所緣戒、於一切智常作意戒、如虛空戒、一切世間無所依戒、無失戒、無損戒、無缺戒、無雜戒、無濁戒、無悔戒、清淨戒、離塵戒、離垢戒；如是功德，而我云何能知能說？「善男子！從此南方有國，名：達里鼻荼，城名：自在；其中有人，名曰：彌伽。汝詣彼問：菩薩云何學菩薩行、修菩薩道？」時，善財童子頂禮其足，右遶瞻仰，辭退而行。大方廣佛華嚴經卷第六十二
Good son! I know only this gate of unobstructed liberation that universally and swiftly makes offerings to every buddha and brings sentient beings to accomplishment. As for how the great bodhisattvas uphold the precept of great compassion, the precept of the pāramitās, the precept of the Great Vehicle, the precept in accord with the bodhisattva's own path, the precept without obstruction, the precept of never regressing or falling back, the precept of never abandoning the mind of enlightenment, the precept of constantly taking the buddha's own dharma as one's object, the precept of constantly directing the mind toward all-knowing wisdom, the precept like empty space, the precept of relying on nothing in any world, the precept without loss, the precept without impairment, the precept without deficiency, the precept without mixture, the precept without turbidity, the precept without regret, the precept of purity, the precept of departing from dust, and the precept of departing from defilement — such merit as this, how could I possibly know and speak of it? Good son! To the south of here there is a country, named: Draviḍa; its city is named: Self-Mastery; within it there is a person, named: Megha. Go there and ask him: how does a bodhisattva study the bodhisattva's own practice and cultivate the bodhisattva's own path?" At that time, the boy Good-Wealth bowed his head at his feet, circled him to the right while gazing upon him, and took his leave and set off.
Fascicle Sixty-Two of the Avataṃsaka Sūtra
如虛空戒，一切世間無所依戒 — the precept like empty space, the precept of relying on nothing in any world. Among twenty precepts named here, most describe what a bodhisattva keeps intact — without loss, without mixture, without regret. These two instead describe what he does not lean on at all, a discipline defined by the absence of any foothold.
