Though this appearance is absolutely<br>Without thought and without activity,<br>Its taking place in the worlds<br>Is nevertheless of great benefit. +
svacittapratibhāso'yamiti naivaṃ pṛthagjanāḥ<br>jānantyatha ca tatteṣāmavandhyaṃ bimbadarśanam +
Ordinary beings do not understand<br>That this is an appearance in their own minds.<br>Nevertheless, to see this image<br>Becomes fruitful for them. +
taddhi darśanamāgamya kramādasminnaye sthitāḥ<br>saddharmakāyaṃ madhyasthaṃ paśyanti jñānacakṣuṣā +
Gradually, based on seeing that [appearance],<br>Those who dwell in this method<br>See the inner kāya of the genuine dharma<br>Through their eye of wisdom. +

Suppose the earth became completely free from all uneven places, gaps, and dirt<br>And were a surface of clear and spotless beryl, with the stainless qualities of a jewel, splendid, and even.<br>Due to its purity, a reflection of the array of the abode of the lord of gods, Indra [himself], and the maruts would appear in it,<br>But since the earth would gradually lose those qualities, [that reflection] would disappear again. +

In order [to attain] this state, the assemblies of men and women who are devoted to generosity and such,<br>Through observing the rules of fasting and spiritual discipline and with a determined mind, would strew flowers and so on.<br>Likewise, for the sake of attaining the reflection of the lord of sages in their minds, which resemble a transparent beryl,<br>The children of the victors give rise to the mind-sets [of awakening] with a joyful mind. +
Just as on the pure ground of beryl <br>The reflection of the body of the lord of gods appears,<br>On the pure ground of the minds of beings,<br>The reflection of the body of the lord of sages is displayed. +

Since they lack conceptions as to<br>For whom, whereby, where,<br>And when which guiding activity [is to be performed],<br>[The activity] of the sages is always effortless. +
The appearance and disappearance of this reflection manifests in the world<br>Through the power of one’s own mind manifesting in a clear or turbid way.<br>Just as the appearance of a reflection in the worlds,<br>It should not be regarded as either real or unreal. +

Just as in the heaven of the gods,<br>As a result of their previous virtue<br>And free from effort, location,<br>Mind, form, and conception, +
The drum of the gods again and again<br>Summons all the heedless gods<br>Through the sounds "impermanence,"<br>"Suffering," "lack of self," and "peace," +
