The Changeless Nature

152 The Changeless Nature381 One who hears but one word of this and, having heard, has faith in itwill attain greater virtue than that of the meditative stabilityof others whose dhyana rids the three worlds of defilements' firesand brings achievement of the divine state of Brahma's paradise,even it if is practised as a means to supreme immutable enlightenment.382 Generosity brings affluence,right conduct leads to the higher states,meditative stability removes defilements,but prajna removes all defilements and the cognitive.Therefore this prajna is the most excellent thing;its cause is to study such as this.383 This presence, what it becomes, its qualities,and the accomplishment of the good —these four points are the domainof buddhas' perfect knowledge, as explained.384 Through faith in these, the fact of this presence,it being the power and with qualities endowed,the wise are quickly ripe for tathagata achievement.385 Through faith, one believes this inconceivable domain present,achievable by 'someone like me' and, once attained,to have such qualities and to have possession.386 Therefore is bodhicitta ever-present in them as the vesselfor the qualities of earnest aspiration, joyful endeavour,mindfulness, meditative stability, prajna and the others.
