A Tathāgata constantly abides,
Has neither birth nor death,
And is neither mental nor physical,
Neither existent nor nonexistent.

As the aquamarine ground
Displays the reflection of a celestial palace,
This reflection is neither existent
Nor nonexistent.

Likewise, if sentient beings’ minds are pure,
They see a Tathāgata’s body,
Which is neither existent
Nor nonexistent.
May all seek, find & follow the Path of Buddhas.
