སེམས་ཀྱི་རྒྱུད་ཀྱང་རབ་ཏུ་མཁྱེན་ཏོ། །
“Moreover, Śāriputra, the Tathāgata’s vision of knowledge has unimpeded and unobstructed access to the present. How does it have this unimpeded access? Śāriputra, the Tathāgata knows the buddha fields in the ten directions in the present by means of three ways of counting. He knows all present phenomena. He knows all present bodhisatvas, as well as the śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas of the present. He knows every present constellation of stars. He knows every present blade of grass, shrub, herb, and wood. [MS.52.b] He knows and can recount the whole present earth element in the ten directions down to the most finely crushed particles of dust. He knows and can recount the whole water element down to the tiniest drop of water as small as a hair’s breadth. He knows and can recount the whole fire element, flames that ignite and go out. He knows and can recount the whole wind element, which makes the realm of form effective. He knows and can recount in minute detail the whole space element. He knows the diverse present realm of living beings. He knows the present realm of hell. He knows what causes one to be born there, and he knows what causes one to leave that state. He knows the present realm of animals. He knows what causes one to be born there, and he knows what causes one to leave that state. He knows the present spirit world governed by Yama. He knows what causes one to be born there, and he knows what causes one to leave that state. He knows the present realm of human beings, and he knows what causes death there. He knows the present realm of the gods. He knows what causes one to be born there, and he knows what causes death there. He knows the present mental continua of all sentient beings. He knows their states of affliction. He knows the state that is free from afflictions. He knows all the present sentient beings who can be trained, and he knows those who cannot be trained. This is what the Tathāgata knows, and still the Tathāgata does not entertain any notions of duality. Remaining in nonduality, he teaches the Dharma to all sentient beings. This, Śāriputra, is the eighteenth of the Tathāgata’s unique buddha qualities. “These, Śāriputra, are the eighteen unique buddha qualities that the Tathāgata possesses and with which he completely overwhelms his surroundings with fiery, magnificent, glorious, wondrous and extraordinary true qualities, glowing, glittering and shining as he travels throughout all the vast worlds in the ten directions. Śāriputra, these eighteen unique buddha qualities are therefore [MS.53.a] boundless. Śāriputra, just as space is boundless, so, too, are these unique buddha qualities of the Tathāgata boundless. Śāriputra, if one could claim that there is a limit to space, then one could also claim that there is a limit to the unique buddha qualities of the Tathāgata. When the bodhisatva, the great being, learns of these unique buddha qualities of the Tathāgata, he develops great faith, trust, and confidence, and he has no uncertainty or doubt about them. They bring him pleasure, joy, and satisfaction, and as these qualities are as inconceivable as space he considers them to be truly wondrous and extraordinary.”
