This is great enlightening beings' dedication of roots of goodness, when giving jeweled crowns, to cause sentient beings to attain the realm of utmost purity of supreme knowledge and the crown of jewels of wisdom. When great enlightening beings see sentient beings in prisons or dungeons, dark and dim, shackled and chained, unable to rise or sit in comfort, assailed by myriad pains, without relatives or friends, without refuge or salvation, naked, hungry, emaciated, suffering unbearable

[08:30]

torture, the enlightening beings, having seen this, give what they have, all their wealth, their spouses, children and households, and even their own bodies, to rescue those creatures in prison, like the enlightening being Great Compassion and the enlightening being Monarch of Wondrous Eyes did. And having rescued them, they give them whatever they need, relieving their suffering, enabling them to gain peace and comfort.

Great enlightening beings seeing prisoners

[11:38]

bound hand and foot, suffering all sorts of pain, beaten and oppressed by their jailers on the brink of death, having given up all earthly comforts, forever parted from their relatives and friends, laid out on butchering blocks to be dismembered or impaled on wooden stakes or doused with oil and set afire. The enlightening beings, having seen them oppressed by such tortures, give up their own bodies to take their places, as did the enlightening beings invincible, monarch of most excellent action, and other great enlightening beings, who gave up their own lives to spare others, bearing cruel suffering in their stead. At that time, the enlightening beings say to the wardens, I wish to give up my body in exchange for their lives. You may apply those tortures to me, just as you are doing to those

[12:44]

people. You may do what you want, even more to me. I will endure even incalculable times as much so that they may be freed. If I see them about to be killed and do not give up my own life to redeem them from their misery, then I cannot be said to be dwelling in the mind of an enlightening being. Why? Because I have made the determination for omniscient enlightenment for the purpose of saving all beings.

This is great enlightening beings' dedication of roots of goodness when giving up their own lives to save prisoners about to be executed, to cause sentient beings to be free from the pains of birth and death, and to attain the sublime bliss of the enlightened. Great enlightening beings give the knot of flesh on their heads to beggars, as did the enlightening beings jewel topknot monarch, supremely wonderful body, and countless others. At such a time,

[15:55]

seeing a beggar come, the enlightening beings' hearts fill with joy, and they say, if you need a flesh topknot, take it from me. Mine is the best in the land. And when they say this, their minds are undisturbed. They do not think of other actions. They relinquish the world and seek dispassionate serenity. Ultimately pure, diligent, straightforward, they are bent on omniscience. They then take a sharp knife and cut off the topknot of flesh on their heads. With their right knee kneeling on the ground, they join their palms and give their topknots away with a concentrated mind, thinking of the practices of all Buddhas and enlightening beings of the past, present, and future, conceiving great joy, increasing in determination. Intellectually, they skillfully analyze and understand phenomena and do not

[17:04]

grasp pain, knowing that the sense of pain has no signs and no origin, that all sensations occur relatively, and none are permanent. Therefore, they develop great blissful faith that they should practice great relinquishment like all enlightening beings of past, future, and present, seeking universal knowledge without retreating, without relying on others' teaching or the power of a teacher. When great enlightening beings carry out this giving, they dedicate the roots of goodness in this way. May all sentient beings attain the invisible crown and develop the pagoda-like topknot of enlightening beings. May all sentient beings have heavenly hair like the Buddha and be able to extinguish all afflictions of sentient beings. May all

[19:12]

fulfill all concentration formulae, and consummate the enlightened one's knowledge of all ways of liberation and its ten powers. Great enlightening beings give their eyes, their ears, their eyes, to those who come and ask for them, just as the enlightening beings' gladdening practice, Moonlight Monarch, and countless others gave theirs.

[20:12]

the unobstructed eye, arouse a mind of indestructible pure faith, arouse a mind of joyful acceptance in regard to those who ask. To consummate all spiritual powers, to produce the enlightened eye, to increase and broaden the great determination for enlightenment, to cultivate great compassion, and to master the senses, they set their minds on these things. When great enlightening beings give eyes, they conceive great love for those who ask and establish charity for them, increasing the power of the teaching, giving up mundane emotional views and indulgence, cutting off the bonds of desire, cultivating enlightenment, and obligingly satisfying their requests with unperturbed minds, always in accord with the practice of non-dualistic equanimity.

[23:24]

beings. When they give, they hand them over personally to those who ask, single-mindedly cultivating the deeds of enlightening beings endowed with the seed nature of Buddhahood born in the house of the enlightened. Recollecting the acts of giving practiced by the enlightening beings, they constantly strive to activate the pure faculties of enlightenment of Buddhas, their virtues and wisdom. Observing all realms of existence, they see that not one thing endures. They aspire to always be able to see the Buddhas and enlightening beings. They recollect all Buddha teachings according to the situation. They know the body is illusory, empty, void of existence with nothing to cling to. Thus, when enlightening beings give away ears and noses, their minds are always dispassionate and peaceful. They have tamed their senses.

[24:31]

They save sentient beings from the dangers of perversity and evil, develop all knowledge and virtues, enter the ocean of great generosity, comprehend the meanings of the teachings, fully cultivate the ways they point out, acting in accord with knowledge and wisdom, attaining mastery of truth, and substitute an indestructible body for the perishable body.

If people come to great enlightening beings asking for their tongues, they compassionately speak kind and gentle words to them, as did handsome monarch, unregressing, and countless other enlightening beings of ancient times. When great enlightening beings are born in the various realms of existence, when countless sentient beings come to them asking for their tongues, they place those people on lion seats, and with minds free from anger, malice, and resentment, with minds of great power, minds born of the essence of Buddhas, minds abiding in the abode of enlightening beings, minds

[33:08]

never polluted or disturbed, minds abiding in great power, minds with no attachment to the body, and minds with no attachment to words, they kneel on the ground, open their mouths, show their tongue to the beggars, and say to them with kind and gentle words, this body of mine is all yours, you may take my tongue and use it as you will to fulfill your wishes. At that time, the enlightening beings dedicate the roots of goodness in this way. May all sentient beings attain the universal tongue and be able to expound all principles of speech and language. May all sentient beings attain tongues that can cover their faces, and may their speech be non-dual and all true to reality. May all sentient beings attain a tongue that

Great enlightening beings, abiding by this practice and diligently applying it, then, because they have already entered the family of the Buddhas, emulate the giving practiced by the Buddhas. Conceiving pure faith in the Buddhas, they develop and mature

[37:24]

roots of goodness and cause those in need to all be happily satisfied. Their own minds are pure and joyful beyond measure. With pure faith and understanding, they clearly illumine the Buddha teachings, activate the will for enlightenment, and abide in equanimity and resignation. All their senses are blissful.

With the power of will, they maintain the path of universal knowledge and abide in the mind ultimately free of impurity, the body of reality, and the body of knowledge, endless and incorruptible. They cannot be shaken by

[40:43]

any delusive influences. Following good teachers, they make their minds firm and stable, and cultivate the practice of transcendence by giving, same as all enlightening beings. When great enlightening beings give their hands and feet, seeking omniscience for the sake of all sentient beings, they dedicate the roots of goodness in this way.
