The Sword of Wisdom 166

Day 10 No Such Thing as True or False



Speaking in silence, silent in speech,
The door of giving is wide open without obstruction.
If someone asks what basic principle I interpret,
I will say it is the power of Mahaprajna.


Others do not know whether I am right or wrong,
Even devas cannot fathom whether I oppose or agree.
I have practiced for many kalpas;
I am not deceiving you as some idlers are.

He cannot be influenced or forced to change in any way. A practitioner like this is the greatest of benefactors, the greatest giver of ultimate Dharma.
