By His Sacred teaching He leadeth all having life into the way of light. 43. Seek refuge in the Treasury of Righteousness. For in Paradise is that holy lake, with its waters of eightfold Virtue, all-glorious with the seven jewels. And all this is the inconceivable handiwork of Purity. 44. Seek refuge in the All-Honoured. For when sorrow and sighing are fled away, the Holy Land shall rejoice with joy and singing. Therefore is it called Paradise. 45. The Buddhas of the Three Ages and the Ten Regions, they in whom the Dual Wisdom is perfect and their illumination entire, lead all the worlds marvellously into the way of Salvation, the Truth being their Vehicle. 46. He that seeketh refuge in the Kingdom of the Infinite One is a citizen of the Kingdom of every Buddha. Let him that is set free, with single heart give praises unto One Buddha, for in so doing he praiseth all. 47. The faithful believer at that moment when he rejoiceth in the sound of the name of the Infinite One hath revealed unto his very eyes the Buddha of Light. |
