Sutra of the Wheel of the Dedication of Merit

...the [Six Entrances] are seeds of enlightenment.

Mañjuśrī The Bodhisattva of Wisdom, often depicted with a sword to cut through ignorance. original: "曼殊室利" again said to the Buddha, "How is the link of Contact Contact: sparśa, the coming together of a sense organ, its object, and the corresponding consciousness. original: "觸支" a seed of enlightenment?"

The Buddha replied, "Mañjuśrī, the Tathāgata A title for the Buddha meaning "One who has thus come" or "One who has thus gone." explains that there are six kinds of contact. These are: contact arising from the union with eye-consciousness, and so on, up to contact arising from the union with the mind and mental phenomena.

Such contacts are produced through the harmonious union of three factors: the sense organs, the objects, and consciousness. Furthermore, they are accumulated through infinite pursuit, calculation, and thinking. Because they are produced by an assembly of conditions, the causes and conditions that produce contact are themselves empty and without birth. The various contacts produced are also like this—just like a magical illusion or a deceptive transformation. Because they are false, constructed, empty, and without reality, they are ultimately identical to Nirvana Nirvana: Literally "extinction" or "quiescence"; the state of ultimate peace and liberation from suffering. original: "寂滅" and Suchness.

Mañjuśrī, you should know that this is precisely the Dharani Gate of Liberation from Contact Dharani Gate: A "mystic formula" or specialized teaching that holds or "retains" the power of the Dharma. original: "陀羅尼門".

Mañjuśrī, you should know that the link of Feeling Feeling: vedanā, the sensory experience or sensation of an object, categorized by its emotional quality. original: "受支" is a seed of enlightenment."

Mañjuśrī again said to the Buddha, "How is the link of Feeling a seed of enlightenment?"

The Buddha said, "Mañjuśrī, there are three kinds of feeling: painful feeling, pleasant feeling, and feeling that is neither painful nor pleasant. Mañjuśrī, these three feelings do not exist internally, they do not exist externally, and they do not exist in the space between."

Mañjuśrī then said to the Buddha, "The nature of these feelings—whether internal, external, or in between—is that they have no place of abiding. Therefore, one should know they are empty."

The Buddha told Mañjuśrī, "Why is it said that all sentient beings 'experience' various feelings?"

Mañjuśrī replied to the Buddha, "Because the deluded and mad original: "癡狂" nature of all sentient beings has matured, they have lost their original mind and lost right mindfulness. Because distorted and false appearances manifest before them, they then cling to the idea that feeling exists. Whether it be [painful feeling], pleasant feeling, or feeling that is neither painful nor pleasant—World-Honored One, all such feelings are like a magical illusion, false and unreal, empty, and without any fixed nature."
