The Dharani Sutra of The Buddha on Longevity, The Extinction of Offences and The Protection of Young Children: 8 of 33

“Confusion, you should know that all the living beings are unable to contemplate the Dharma of Twelve Conditioned Links of Causation and so they revolve and suffer in the seas of birth and death. If there is a man who is able to contemplate the Dharma of Twelve Conditioned Links of Causation, then he is able to see the Reality of Form Dharma. If a man is able to see the Reality of Form Dharma, he indeed sees The Buddha.”

“When a man sees The Buddha, he is able to see The Buddha Nature. Why did I say so? Because all The Buddhas also base on the Twelve Conditioned Links of Causation as The Dharma Nature. Now you are able to listen to the Twelve Conditioned Links of Causation from me, you will obtain the Pure Buddha Nature. You are suitable to be the Dharma Vessel in the Door of The Buddha.”

“Now I will again tell you the only True Path. You should give thought to protect every single mindfulness. The single mindfulness is known as The Bodhi Mind. The Bodhi Mind is also known as The Mind of the Great Vehicle.”

“Because the root nature of the living beings is different so all the Buddha and Bodhisattvas teach and differentiate the Three Vehicles. You should constantly be mindful and look after the Bodhi Mind. Never should you forget it.”

“Even if your body is burnt by the five skandas of form forms, feelings, thoughts, activities and consciousness, is being swallowed and eaten by the four snakes of earth, water , fire and wind, is being attacked by the three poisoning of greed, hatred and delusion, is being invaded by the six thieves of forms, sounds, fragrance, tastes, senses of touch and dharma, and is being harmed and tormented by the devils and demons, you should remain unmoving and never should you change your Bodhi Mind.”

“With the Bodhi Mind, your body will be as hard and firm as the Vajra. Your mind will resemble the empty space where no one can really harm and destroy it.

“If the Bodhi Mind is firm and solid, it is replete with the four virtues of Nirvana, namely, Permanence, Bliss, True Self and Purity. It will help us to attain The Unsurpassed Proper, Equal and Perfect Enlightenment.”

“When you are replete with the four virtues of Nirvana, you will be liberated from the conditions of birth, old age, sickness and death, and all the realms of hells. Then, the ghastly ghost of Impermanence will naturally have no way to chase and catch hold of you to settle the case.”
