20.2 “Bodhisattva mahāsattvas who have few involvements, avoid bad companions, rely on kalyāṇamitras, have an inquiring nature, unrelentingly seek the Dharma, have the Dharma as their goal, desire the Dharma, delight in the Dharma, obtain the Dharma, and practice the Dharma in accord with the Dharma will, young man, develop great compassion for beings and will develop the aspiration for the highest, complete enlightenment.
20.3 “Moreover, young man, bodhisattva mahāsattvas who wish for this Dharma teaching of entering great compassion and wish to attain the highest, complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood quickly should be diligent, without regard for life or body, and should continuously seek kalyāṇamitras who teach this Dharma teaching of entering great compassion, and unwaveringly serve them, rely upon them, and honor them.
20.4 “Young man, bodhisattva mahāsattvas who with a higher motivation seek kalyāṇamitras should hear from them the Dharma teaching of entering great compassion, and should obtain it, understand it, preserve it, recite it to others, promote it, proclaim it, chant it, meditate on it with unadulterated meditation, [F.70.b] promulgate it, and make it widely known to others. They should, with joy and veneration, perceive as the Teacher the person from whom they hear this Dharma teaching on entering great compassion.
20.5 “Young man, when bodhisattva mahāsattvas search for kalyāṇamitras, and respect them and serve them without weariness, at that time, young man, those bodhisattva mahāsattvas easily attain the highest, complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood and they obtain this Dharma teaching on easily entering great compassion.
20.6 “Young man, in that way bodhisattva mahāsattvas should constantly seek for kalyāṇamitras as if their head or clothing were on fire, and unwaveringly attend upon them, serve them, and venerate them.
20.7 “Why is that? Young man, for bodhisattva mahāsattvas the highest, complete enlightenment of perfect buddhahood, not even to speak of this Dharma teaching on entering great compassion, depends upon kalyāṇamitras.
20.8 “Therefore, young man, you should always practice by thinking, ‘I will not weary of seeking kalyāṇamitras, venerating them, and serving them.’ ”
20.9 Thereupon the Bhagavān, in order to make clear this Dharma teaching on entering great compassion, gave the youth Candraprabha the teaching that had been given in the past in detail in the form of the following verses:753
20.10

In which there is no human, soul, or person:
‘All phenomena are like the moon on water,
Illusions, bubbles, mirages, and lightning. {2}
20.12
“ ‘There is no human, no descendant of Manu, to be found [F.71.a]
Who goes to the next world when his time has come to an end.
However, the karma that has been created will not disappear,
But will give corresponding black or white results. {3}
20.13
“ ‘This is the excellent doorway of the way of logic,
The subtle, difficult-to-see realm of experience of the jinas.
The Bhagavān knows the enlightenment of buddhahood
In which there are there no words or letters to be found. {4}
20.14
“ ‘Vast retention and the accumulation of wisdom
Come from a hundred thousand trillion sūtras.
The Bhagavān teaches the samādhi
That is the field of experience of a hundred thousand trillion buddhas. {5}
20.15
“ ‘This frees the sick from their illness.
It is the wealth accomplished by bodhisattvas.
It is praised and extolled by all buddhas;
A hundred thousand trillion devas make offerings to it. {6}
20.16
“ ‘It is condemned by all foolish beings,754
And the tīrthikas always reject it.
It is the supreme wealth of conduct that is praised by the buddhas.
It is as undefiled as lightning in the sky. {7}
20.17
“ ‘Those who make offerings to millions of jinas
Are wise in the practice of generosity and correct conduct,
Have forsaken their previous bad companions,
And have an unsurpassable inheritance of wealth.’755 {8}
20.18
“There was present a bhikṣu, a dharmabhāṇaka,
A celibate who was the heart son of the Sugata.
When he had heard this benevolent Dharma,
He developed the aspiration to be a guide of the world.756 {9}
20.19
“The Guide, Indraketudhvajarāja,
Said to the dharmabhāṇaka,
‘Bhikṣu, develop the supreme, difficult-to-attain
Motivation for the highest enlightenment. {10}
20.20
“ ‘Maintain the conduct that is like a precious jewel,
Always depend on favorable friends,
Never depend on friends whose actions are evil
And before long you will attain buddha wisdom.’ {11}
20.21
“The one who developed the aspiration to enlightenment
In the presence of Indraketudhvajarāja
Became a supreme dharmabhāṇaka,
A celibate who was the heart son of the Sugata.”757 {12}
