བཅོམ་ལྡན་འདས་ཀྱིས་དེ་སྐད་ཅེས་བཀའ་སྩལ་ཏེ། བདེ་བར་གཤེགས་པས་དེ་སྐད་གསུངས་ནས། སྟོན་པ་ཡང་འདི་སྐད་གསུང་ངོ་། །
“Śāriputra, take the example of a child of the gods born among the gods of the Heaven of Neither Perception nor Nonperception. His consciousness remains unwaveringly in this state for eighty-four thousand eons. His consciousness does not stray anywhere else as long as his lifespan in this state of concentration has not reached its end. In just the same way, Śāriputra, in that period, from the night the Tathāgata became a fully realized, fully accomplished buddha, the night on which he attained complete nirvāṇa within the sphere of nirvāṇa without remainder, the Tathāgata’s concentration was not broken. His mind did not move. His mind did not flutter. His mind did not stray. His mind did not wander. His mind was not scattered. His mind was not swayed. His mind was not dispersed. His mind was not elevated. His mind did not sink down. His mind was not on guard. His mind was not defensive. His mind was not overjoyed. His mind was not stubborn. His mind was not submissive. His mind was not agitated. His mind enjoyed no pleasures. His mind was not discouraged. His mind made no mental constructions. His mind did not conceptualize. His mind did not make assumptions. His mind did not become lost in trains of thought. His mind did not dwell on the eyes, nor did it dwell on the ears, the nose, the tongue, the body, or the intellect. His mind did not dwell on forms, nor did it dwell on sounds, smells, tastes, physical objects, or mental objects. His mind did not become involved with phenomena. His mind did not become involved with consciousness. His mind also had no concern for the past. His mind had no concern for the future. His mind had no concern for the present. Śāriputra, such was the state of concentration the tathāgata, arhat, fully accomplished Buddha was in. Even though he did not seek out any phenomena, the unimpeded insight of his knowledge could engage effortlessly with all phenomena. Thus, Śāriputra, the stability of the Tathāgata’s concentration, beyond thoughts, mind, and consciousness, cannot be shattered, and he carries out all buddha activities effortlessly.”
