4! 50 Buddha N a tu r e Due to the various colors [of its background] a gem appears [in manifold colors], [but] is not a thing fulfilling their function. Likewise the All-Pervasive [Ones] appear due to the manifold conditions [set by beings] without being a thing fulfilling their function. [The Supreme Nirmanakaya] knows the world and having gazed upon all worldly [beings demonstrates] out of his great compassion [twelve wondrous deeds]. Without moving away from the dharma kaya he manifests through various [aspects] of an illusory nature.
Though they are beyond all worldly matters, these [bodhisattvas] do not leave the world. They act for the sake of all worldly beings within the world, unblemished by its defects. As a lotus will grow in the midst of water, not being polluted by the water's [faults], these [noble ones] are bom in the world unpolluted by any worldly phenomena. Root T e x t 29 Viewing the accomplishment of their task, their understanding always blazes like fire. And they always rest evenly balanced in meditative stability, which is peace.
Combining] sentences from the foregoing two by two, the uncreated expanse should be known [as possessing] in the same sequence the attributes of being permanent and so forth. Since it is endowed with inexhaustible qualities, [the dharmakaya] is unchangingness itself and thus [has] the attribute of permanence. Equaling the uttermost end it is refuge itself and thus [holds] the attribute of steadfastness. Since absence of thought is its nature, it is dharmata free from duality and thus [has] the attribute of peace.
