  • You have forever cast away delusive ideas, reflections, and thoughts—
No more to become entangled in all the facets of existence.
What you embody is not existing,
and yet not nonexistent;
Is neither direct nor indirect cause;
has no sense of self or other;
Is neither square nor round;
is not brief or long;
Neither appears nor disappears;
is without origination or cessation;
Is neither created nor self-arisen,
nor is it produced;
Neither sits nor lies down;
does not walk or stand;
Neither moves nor turns;
is not static or idle;
Neither advances nor retreats;
is not imperiled or secure;
Neither is, nor is not;
has no gain or loss;
Is neither here nor there;
does not come or go;
Is neither blue nor yellow;
is not red or white;
Is not crimson,
is not purple or multicolored;
