Then Muktaka, mindful, perfectly cognizant, arose from that concentration and said to Sudhana, "I go in and out of a liberation of buddhas which is called 'unobstructed manifestation.'
As I go in and out of the 'unobstructed mainfestation' liberation of buddhas,

In this way I see whatever buddha I wish in whatever world in whichever direction.
I see whatever buddha I wish to see in whatever time in whatever abode involved in whatever past practice,
whatever buddha I wish to see in whatever miraculous performances,
in whatever teaching activity:
and yet the buddhas do not come here, nor do I go there.
Without discerning any coming from anywhere on the part of the buddhas,
without discerning any going on the part of my own body,
knowing the buddhas as like a dream,
knowing my own mind as dreamlike thought,
knowing the buddhas as like a reflection,
knowing my own mind as like a vessel of clear water,
knowing the buddhas as like magically produced forms,
knowing my mind as like magic,
knowing the nature of voices of the buddhas as the reverberation of the sound of echoes in the mountains,
knowing my own mind as like an echo,
I realize,
I am mindful,
that all enlightenment principles of enlightening beings are based on one's own mind,
that all their purification of buddha-lands,
all enlightening practices,all development and guidance of sentient beings,
all undertaking of the vows of enlightening beings,
all attainment to the ocean of omniscience,
roaming in the inconceivable liberation of enlightening beings,
attainment of the enlightenment of buddhas,
spiritual communion with the cosmos,
and knowledge of subtle communion with all ages,
all are based on one's own mind.
