Sutra of the Wheel of the Dedication of Merit

"It is said, Manjushri, that all things Things: Known as dharmas in Buddhist philosophy, referring to all physical and mental phenomena. original: "諸法" possess no signs to be perceived, nor do they have names. They possess no form, sound, smell, taste, touch, or mental objects. Even the signs of the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha The Triple Gem: The three pillars of Buddhism consisting of the Teacher, the Teachings, and the Community. original: "佛法僧" do not exist. There are no signs of the Hearers original: "聲相", likely referring to Sravakas, those who attain enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teachings., no signs of the Solitary Realizers original: "緣覺", those who attain enlightenment alone through understanding causality., and no signs of ordinary people. Because all things are unmoving, unborn, and without arising or ceasing, you should know that this is the realm of the Asura original: "阿耨羅" (Anuola), a phonetic variant for the Asuras, a class of powerful demigods often driven by envy., the signs of the Asura, and their entry into the nature of all things and the Dharani original: "随罪尼" (Suizuini), an unusual phonetic rendering for Dharani, the power of total mental retention.."

"Manjushri, the realm of the Garuda Garuda: Mythical bird-like beings of immense size who are protectors of the Dharma. original: "揭路荼", the signs of the Garuda, and all things should be known as the tracks and path of the Dharani Seal."

Manjushri said to the Buddha: "World-Honored One, by what cause and condition are the realm of the Garuda and the signs of the Garuda the same as the nature of the Pure Dharani?"

The Buddha said: "Manjushri, all things truly have no coming or going. Yet, within them, there appear to be signs of coming and going—but there are no signs of distance or speed, no signs of slowness, no signs of coming from emptiness, and no signs of going into emptiness. There is no birth and no destruction, no loss, no attachment, and no signs of bondage or liberation. Though one may encounter anger, they do not follow ignorance; they remain distant from greed. Furthermore, they lack the signs of the Four Postures Four Postures: The four standard physical positions of a practitioner—walking, standing, sitting, and lying down. original: "四威儀"."

"Manjushri, all things are just like empty space, without any bondage or attachment. Know that this is the realm of the Garuda, the signs of the Garuda, and the entry into the nature of all things and the Dharani. Manjushri, the signs of the realm of the Kinnara Kinnara: Celestial musicians and dancers, often depicted as half-human and half-bird. original: "緊捺羅"
