Such a realization is the vision
Of one’s own personal wisdom.
It is pure in the stainless basic element
Because it lacks attachment and lacks obstruction.
Of one’s own personal wisdom.
It is pure in the stainless basic element
Because it lacks attachment and lacks obstruction.
- Cette réalisation est la vision
- Que chacun connaît par soi-même.
- Elle est pure parce que, dans l’immensité immaculée,
- Il n’y a pas d’attachement ni d’obstacles

Obermiller (1931) [3]
- Thus, the intuition (of the Bodhisattvas)
- Is their, direct Transcendental Introspection.
- It is perfectly pure, being free from attachment
- Within the plane of the Immaculate Absolute,
- And completely free from all impediments.—
Takasaki (1966) [4]
- Thus, what is called 'understanding in such a way',
- That is the perception by one's own wisdom.
- It is pure in the Immaculate Sphere,
- Because it is free from attachment and has no hindrance.
Fuchs (2000) [5]
- Such realization is the vision of wisdom
- that is self-aware. This wisdom is pure,
- since it [sees] the undefiled expanse,
- free from attachment and obstruction.
