> The wondrous body of a Bodhisattva's wisdom gives birth to all good and beneficial things, Just as from the earth spring forth all kinds of benefits. From the treasury of all Buddhas' wisdom flows the great Dharma wheel; All phenomena arise from their own nature, and all nature gives birth. In a single instant, the meaning of all phenomena is born, And one attains great wisdom, comprehending all things. Entering deeply into all meditative states, abiding in the principle of equality, All phenomena become utterly pure, and one achieves perfect enlightenment. All Buddhas appear, and the meaning of joy is fulfilled; The great light of wisdom's flame extinguishes all sinful defilements. Among all beings, one accomplishes the highest benefit. Suffering and affliction are like enemy thieves; wisdom is able to vanquish them. The supreme mark of diligence is subtle and greatly auspicious. With arms a hundred cubits long, lifting a foot without treading, One foot presses the golden wheel down to the earth's furthest limit, The other foot covers the Brahma realm, yet only the toenails are seen. Supreme and most sovereign, the meaning of Dharma is without distinction, Manifesting all kinds of forms, arising from skillful wisdom, Pervading the realms of the ten directions, benefiting without end. Having left behind the stains of cyclic existence, one attains three kinds of great bliss, Like a pure cloud, also like the autumn's bright moon, Like the sun free from clouds, blazing with great light, Like Indra's great sapphire, adorned with the most sublime color, And the great wish-fulfilling jewel, also serving as wondrous adornment. The displayed supernatural power shakes a hundred worlds. Abiding in the foundations of mindfulness, right effort, Supernormal powers, faculties, and powers, The seven factors of enlightenment like wondrous flowers of the mind, Comprehending the Noble Eightfold Path, Heading toward perfect enlightenment, the ocean of a Tathagata's virtues. The aggregates of all beings are like space; The mental activities of all beings are of various kinds and distinctions. Knowing the sense faculties and objects, the five aggregates are all empty; The meaning of the five aggregates is pure, and mental formations are beyond count. Knowing the characteristics of all formations, abiding in ultimate reality, The twelve links of dependent origination—their nature is entirely pure. The four immeasurables, the true vehicle, The eight knowledges born from enlightenment, Knowing the internal faculties and external objects, the twelve meanings of truth, The secret sixteen divisions, the twenty kinds of enlightenment paths— Such supreme meanings are all known by the Buddhas. Buddhas manifest countless bodies, ever abiding in meditative concentration, And in an instant can know the mental activities of all beings. The skillful means of the three vehicles, the subtlety of pure conduct, Awakening to the selfless nature of phenomena, abiding in the single vehicle. Exhausting all bonds of affliction, emerging from the bitter sea of wandering, Leaving the dense forest of bondage, all kinds of suffering and such. Skillful wisdom and great compassion can universally benefit, Embracing all sentient beings, enabling them to realize the patience of non-arising. The minds of all beings—knowing their objects as pure; The minds of all beings—equal and without distinction; The minds of all beings—joyful, giving rise to delight, Causing them to leave distraction, accomplishing all virtues, Penetrating the phenomena of the three times, all meanings of wisdom. The nature of the five aggregates is originally empty; the three times are all thus. In a single thought giving rise to faith and understanding, one immediately sees the Buddha-nature. All phenomena arise from their own nature; the Buddha-body is originally unattached. Taking delight in seeing the Buddha-body, with all kinds of adorned forms, Taking delight in hearing of Buddha's enlightenment, the supreme true meaning. The great mantra is beyond letters; the great mantra has three natures. Silence is beyond letters, giving birth to all mantras. The silence of the hundred-syllable gate, the five-syllable gate of great emptiness, The secret sixteen kinds, born from silence. Gala and non-Gala, of the past there are four kinds. Meditative meanings give rise to countless numbers; all is done and not-done. Penetrating all meditations, knowing the fundamental concentration, The body of meditative concentration is supreme; the reward and transformation bodies are also thus, Universally pervading the realms of the ten directions, teaching and liberating all beings. Finally, the God among gods, the most auspicious and supreme one, Becomes the teacher of gods and humans, subduing all demonic hosts. Like the heavenly king Indra, able to perform great giving, Liberating all beings, leading them out from the dense forest of afflictions, Praised by all ten directions, unique and without a second. With the great Dharma of compassion as the armor of diligence, Wisdom as the bow and sword, destroying the thieves of affliction. With supreme majestic power, all demons are terrified. Having subdued the demonic enemies, one makes vast offerings. Bowing to the supreme teacher, the protector of the world, the Buddhas, Prostrating, extending praise, drawing near and serving, The realms of the ten directions and space are also thus offered. Manjushri, the Greatly Auspicious One, the great Bodhisattva, Possesses the six superknowledges and three insights; the six recollections are all perfected. Manifesting great supernatural power, wisdom reaching the other shore, Far removed from cyclic existence, eternally attaining non-retrogression. With courageous and great diligence, knowing all phenomena, The great spiritual being attains transcendence of the supreme ground. With the Dharma rain of wisdom, universally moistening all beings, Expounding the four Dharma seals, guiding through the three vehicles, The pure and supreme meaning, able to create great auspiciousness. Praised by Bodhisattvas, accomplishing the Vajra Lord, Countless beings gaze up and pay homage. Homage to the Great Emptiness Treasury; praise to the Great Emptiness Treasury. Homage to the Buddha's Enlightenment Path; praise to the Buddha's Enlightenment Path. Homage to the Bodies of all Buddhas; praise to the Bodies of all Buddhas. Homage to the Buddha's Joy; praise to the Buddha's Joy. Homage to the Buddha's Virtues; praise to the Buddha's Virtues. Homage to the Thoughts of all Buddhas; praise to the Thoughts of all Buddhas. Homage to the Buddha's Smile; praise to the Buddha's Smile. Homage to the Speech of all Buddhas; praise to the Speech of all Buddhas. Homage to the Buddha's Beloved; praise to the Buddha's Beloved. Homage to the Birth of all Buddhas; praise to the Birth of all Buddhas. Homage to the Birth of Buddha's Wisdom; praise to the Birth of Buddha's Wisdom. Homage to the Buddha's Playful Dance; praise to the Buddha's Playful Dance. Homage to Omniscience; praise to Omniscience. To the nature of emptiness and the net of illusion, homage and praise are also thus.

爾時金剛掌菩薩摩訶薩、金剛手菩薩摩訶薩白佛言：「世尊！如來智觀一切智身甚深微妙。文殊菩薩摩訶薩為欲利益一切眾生，說此清淨最勝名義。若諸眾生未淨三業，令於佛地波羅蜜門福智藏中攝持三業圓滿清淨，於最上義未了解者令得了解，乃至一切諸佛法藏皆為開發令得悟解，出生眾善為功德門。」復次金剛掌菩薩摩訶薩、金剛手菩薩摩訶薩言：「此最勝名義出生一切淨地波羅蜜法，祕密神呪圓滿，成就一切智智諸功德海，淨身語意三祕密門，觀想諸佛正等正覺，成就佛智大三摩地。一切如來清淨法界，最勝十力破壞魔怨，具一切智一切種智，根本方便饒益眾生，福德智藏清淨圓滿。出生菩薩、聲聞緣覺二乘聖種，一切人天安住大乘諸菩薩行，入正聖道皆得解脫。復能增長菩薩善根，攝受一切外道異論。威德摧伏四種魔怨，令諸眾生同歸聖道。解脫繫縛離諸散亂，具足一切諸善事業，斷除輪迴得真聖道。以妙香華幢幡傘蓋，普遍供養一切如來，速得成就諸呪部門。於諸菩薩生愛樂想，相應般若波羅蜜多，了知菩薩空行無二。具足一切波羅蜜藏，圓滿一切清淨佛地。得四真諦聖智現前，一心安住四正念處，乃至具足諸佛功德。」復次金剛掌菩薩摩訶薩、金剛手菩薩摩訶薩言：「此最勝名義經，能除一切眾生身語意業不善罪垢，令得遠離一切惡道，及得斷除一切業障，八難怖畏皆得消除。離惡眠夢獲大吉祥，及離一切諸魔怨結。修諸善根福德利益，斷除一切增上我慢，永離一切苦惱輪轉。一切佛心了知如實，菩薩密行了知如實，三乘聖智了知如實，一切呪印了知如實。最勝法義生大智慧，住安樂行色力自在，獲得清淨大吉祥事。歡喜踴躍以妙句偈稱揚讚歎此名義經，亦能消除一切疾病及大恐怖。若眾生心有所樂欲，至心誦持最勝名義悉得如意，欲得清淨即得清淨，欲得救護即得救護，欲得富饒即得富饒。如漂溺人得獲濟度，未得道者令得道果，乘般若舟到菩提岸。如大醫王能除眾病，以方便智救護眾生，愚癡暗蔽悉得永離。猶如意寶隨其所欲，利益一切皆令圓滿。文殊菩薩摩訶薩，如實了知一切智智，具足五眼六波羅蜜，得四無畏安住十地，大福智藏三摩地門皆得圓滿。如實了知法性無二，如實了知色相差別，如實了知種種億數色相清淨，如來自性悉皆空故。此名義經無二法義，若有受持開示顯發，則能利益一切眾生，令離邪見煩惱稠林。」復次金剛掌菩薩摩訶薩、金剛手菩薩摩訶薩白佛言：「世尊！文殊師利菩薩摩訶薩及一切如來智觀無二。此名義經最勝尊重，如佛頂中大摩尼珠。若善男子善女人依此最勝祕密呪門句偈義理，每日三時受持讀誦解說書寫，利益眾生顯示三乘普令悟入。爾時文殊師利菩薩摩訶薩說此最勝名義，欲令眾生一心信受，得勝解心，了達一切最上法門，修無住行具足智慧，清淨三業發菩提心。一切諸佛諸大菩薩，普皆示現平等法門，令諸眾生皆得悟入。大金剛掌菩薩現忿怒相，以大威力降伏魔怨，普皆利益一切眾生令得安樂，顯示祕密三昧道場一切呪印，引導眾生入正定聚圓滿無餘。大明呪王除諸障難，消伏魔怨具大威德，於晝夜中常當擁護。童真菩薩、梵王帝釋、嚕陀羅神、那羅延天、大自在天，并子歌哩底計、大黑天神、難底計說囉大神、焰魔天王、水界大神、毘沙門天王、賀哩帝母於晝夜中常當擁護，若行若住若坐若臥，一切時中諸佛菩薩威神加護。一切諸佛及諸菩薩，饒益攝受彼諸眾生，身意語業皆得清淨。一切羅漢聲聞緣覺，護念攝受彼諸眾生，於一切法得無所畏。如是最勝名義聖法，於諸經中最為上首。若能於此信解受持，是人則為得菩提道。或處禪定或居闠鬧，或入王城聚落之處，江河園林一切住處，於晝夜中常當擁護令無怖畏。天龍八部人及非人，乃至毘舍遮女并諸眷屬，常當擁護是諸眾生，令離諸惱得大安隱。」復次金剛掌菩薩、金剛手菩薩言：「此最勝名義經，如佛頂珠最上微妙，功德殊勝不可思議。每日三時受持讀誦，正念思惟精進無懈，於佛菩提速能趣入。」復白佛言：「世尊！文殊師利菩薩色相具足，觀察思惟，以大願力度脫眾生。或於空中現一切佛、一切菩薩，種種化身隨順眾生所樂示現，演說微妙甚深句義，引導眾生遠離惡趣，不生卑賤不墮邊境，生不醜陋不墮邪見，常生佛剎聽聞正法離無想處，不生饑饉鬪戰劫中，不生五濁及賊難處，不生貧窮及困苦處，不生非法妄說句偈為求名聞。生賢善家尊貴人中，圓滿色相端嚴具足，見者歡喜無不愛樂，得宿住通，大尊重相具大威德，布施、持戒、忍辱、精進、禪定、智慧、方便、願力、慈悲喜捨四無量心具足圓滿，及於一切工巧技藝、讚詠外書皆得了解。出家求道，於一切智心無散失，了達三乘諸法義利。此經功德出生無量智慧無量善法。若善男子善女人受持讀誦解其義理為人演說，當知是人於如來藏中得佛功德，不久當證最上菩提，具一切智一切種智，安住世間振大法鼓、建大法幢、作大法王、演大法呪。」即說呪曰：

> At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Vajrapāṇi and the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Vajrapāṇi addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honored One! The Tathagata's wisdom observes the very profound and subtle body of All-Knowledge. The Bodhisattva Mahasattva Mañjuśrī, for the benefit of all sentient beings, expounds this pure and supreme teaching of names and meanings. For sentient beings whose three karmas (of body, speech, and mind) are not yet purified, it enables them to embrace and hold their three karmas within the treasury of merit and wisdom of the Buddha's ground and the gates of perfections, achieving complete purification. For those who have not yet understood the supreme meaning, it enables them to understand. It even opens up and enables comprehension of all the treasuries of the Buddha's Dharma, giving birth to all good qualities and serving as a gate of merit." Furthermore, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Vajrapāṇi and the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Vajrapāṇi said: "This supreme teaching of names and meanings gives birth to all pure-ground perfection methods, completes secret mantras, accomplishes the ocean of all virtues of All-Knowledge and Wisdom, purifies the three secret gates of body, speech, and mind, contemplates all Buddhas, the Rightly and Perfectly Enlightened Ones, and accomplishes the great samadhi of Buddha-wisdom. It is the pure Dharma realm of all Tathagatas, the supreme ten powers that destroy demonic adversaries, possessing All-Knowledge and All-Modes-of-Knowledge, the fundamental skillful means to benefit sentient beings, with the treasury of merit and wisdom purified and perfected. It gives birth to the noble seeds of Bodhisattvas, Śrāvakas, and Pratyekabuddhas—the two vehicles. It enables all humans and devas to abide in the Mahayana practices of the Bodhisattvas, to enter the right holy path and attain liberation. It further increases the wholesome roots of Bodhisattvas, embraces and accepts all non-Buddhist doctrines and heterodox views. With majestic power, it subdues the four kinds of demonic adversaries, causing all sentient beings to return together to the holy path. It liberates from bondage, departs from all distractions, perfects all wholesome endeavors, severs the cycle of rebirth, and attains the true holy path. With wonderful incense, flowers, banners, and canopies, it universally makes offerings to all Tathagatas, swiftly accomplishing all mantra sections. It generates loving and joyful thoughts towards all Bodhisattvas, corresponds with the Perfection of Wisdom, and fully understands the non-duality of the Bodhisattva's practice of emptiness. It perfects all treasuries of perfections, completes all pure Buddha-grounds. It attains the Four Noble Truths with holy wisdom manifesting, single-mindedly abiding in the Four Foundations of Mindfulness, and even perfects all Buddha-virtues." Furthermore, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Vajrapāṇi and the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Vajrapāṇi said: "This scripture of supreme names and meanings can eliminate all unwholesome sinful defilements of the body, speech, and mind karma of sentient beings, enabling them to be far removed from all evil destinies, to sever all karmic obstructions, and to eliminate all fears of the eight difficulties. It departs from bad dreams and nightmares, obtaining great auspiciousness, and departs from all bonds with demonic adversaries. It cultivates all wholesome roots, merit, and benefits, severs all inflated pride, and forever departs from all suffering and cyclic existence. It enables the true knowing of the mind of all Buddhas, the true knowing of the secret practices of Bodhisattvas, the true knowing of the holy wisdom of the three vehicles, and the true knowing of all mantra seals. The supreme Dharma meaning gives rise to great wisdom, abiding in blissful conduct with mastery over form and strength, obtaining pure and great auspicious matters. With joyful delight, one praises and extols this scripture of names and meanings with wonderful verses, and it can also eliminate all illnesses and great terrors. If sentient beings have desires in their hearts, and with utmost sincerity recite and uphold this supreme teaching of names and meanings, they will obtain all as they wish. If they wish for purity, they obtain purity; if they wish for protection, they obtain protection; if they wish for abundance, they obtain abundance. Like a drowning person being rescued, those who have not attained the path are enabled to attain its fruit, riding the boat of wisdom to the shore of enlightenment. Like a great king of physicians who can cure all illnesses, with skillful wisdom he rescues sentient beings, and all ignorance and darkness are forever left behind. Like a wish-fulfilling jewel, according to their wishes, it benefits all, enabling perfection. The Bodhisattva Mahasattva Mañjuśrī truly knows All-Knowledge and Wisdom, perfects the five eyes and six perfections, attains the four fearlessnesses, abides in the ten grounds, and perfects the great treasury of merit and wisdom and the gates of samadhi. He truly knows the non-duality of Dharma-nature, truly knows the distinctions of forms and appearances, truly knows the purity of the countless billions of forms and appearances, for the nature of the Tathagata is entirely empty. This teaching of names and meanings is the non-dual Dharma meaning. If one receives, upholds, explains, and reveals it, then one can benefit all sentient beings, enabling them to depart from the dense forest of wrong views and afflictions." Furthermore, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Vajrapāṇi and the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Vajrapāṇi addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honored One! The Bodhisattva Mahasattva Mañjuśrī and the wisdom observation of all Tathagatas are non-dual. This scripture of names and meanings is supremely revered, like the great wish-fulfilling jewel on the crown of a Buddha's head. If good men and good women, relying on this supreme secret mantra gate, its verses, and their meanings and principles, receive, uphold, recite, explain, and copy it three times daily, they will benefit sentient beings, reveal the three vehicles, and universally enable understanding and entry." At that time, the Bodhisattva Mahasattva Mañjuśrī expounded this supreme teaching of names and meanings, wishing to cause sentient beings to single-mindedly believe and accept it, to attain a mind of supreme understanding, to fully comprehend all supreme Dharma gates, to cultivate the practice of non-abiding, to perfect wisdom, to purify the three karmas, and to generate the mind of enlightenment. All Buddhas and all great Bodhisattvas universally manifest the gate of equality, enabling all sentient beings to understand and enter. The great Bodhisattva Vajrapāṇi manifests a wrathful form, with great majestic power subdues demonic adversaries, universally benefits all sentient beings enabling them to attain peace and bliss, reveals the secret samadhi practice sites and all mantra seals, guides sentient beings into the right concentration assembly, perfecting without remainder. The great bright mantra king eliminates all obstacles and difficulties, subdues demonic adversaries, possesses great majestic virtue, and constantly protects day and night. The youthfully pure Bodhisattvas, Brahma King, Śakra Devānām Indra, the god Rudra, the god Nārāyaṇa, the god Maheśvara, together with the goddess Cāmuṇḍā, the great black god, the goddess Nandikeśvarī, the king Yama, the great god of the water realm, the king Vaiśravaṇa, the mother Hārītī—constantly protect day and night. Whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down, at all times, all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas grant their majestic spiritual protection. All Buddhas and all Bodhisattvas benefit and embrace those sentient beings; their body, mind, and speech karma all become purified. All Arhats, Śrāvakas, and Pratyekabuddhas guard, remember, and embrace those sentient beings, enabling them to attain fearlessness regarding all dharmas. Such is the supreme holy Dharma of names and meanings; among all scriptures, it is the foremost. If one can believe, understand, receive, and uphold this, such a person then attains the path to enlightenment. Whether in meditation or in bustling places, or entering royal cities, villages, rivers, gardens, forests—all dwelling places—day and night, one is constantly protected and made fearless. The eight classes of gods and dragons, humans and non-humans, even the Piśāca women and all their retinues, constantly protect these sentient beings, enabling them to depart from all troubles and attain great peace and security." Furthermore, the Bodhisattva Vajrapāṇi and the Bodhisattva Vajrapāṇi said: "This scripture of supreme names and meanings is like the jewel on a Buddha's crown, most supreme and subtle, its merit and virtue extraordinary and inconceivable. Receiving, upholding, and reciting it three times daily, with right mindfulness, contemplation, and diligent effort without laxity, one can swiftly enter the Buddha's enlightenment." They further addressed the Buddha, saying: "World-Honored One! The Bodhisattva Mañjuśrī, with perfect form and appearance, observes and contemplates, and with great vows delivers sentient beings. Sometimes in space, he manifests all Buddhas, all Bodhisattvas, various transformation bodies, appearing in accordance with what sentient beings delight in, expounding subtle and profound meanings of verses, guiding sentient beings far from evil destinies. They are not born in lowly stations, do not fall into border regions, are born without ugliness, do not fall into wrong views, are constantly born in Buddha-lands, hear the true Dharma, depart from the formless realms, are not born in times of famine, conflict, or kalpa-disasters, are not born in the five turbidities or places of banditry and difficulty, are not born in poverty or places of hardship, are not born where non-Dharma and false verses are spoken for the sake of fame. They are born in families of the virtuous, among honorable people, with perfect, dignified, and complete form and appearance, pleasing to behold, universally loved and delighted in. They obtain the superknowledge of past abodes, possess the marks of great respect and great majestic virtue. Giving, moral discipline, patience, vigor, meditation, wisdom, skillful means, power of vows, compassion, loving-kindness, sympathetic joy, equanimity—the four immeasurable minds—are perfectly fulfilled. And regarding all arts, crafts, skills, and praise of external texts, they fully understand them. Leaving home to seek the path, regarding All-Knowledge, their mind is undistracted; they fully comprehend the meaning and benefit of the dharmas of the three vehicles. The merit of this scripture gives birth to immeasurable wisdom and immeasurable wholesome dharmas. If good men and good women receive, uphold, recite, understand its meaning and principles, and explain it to others, know that such a person, within the Tathagatagarbha, obtains the Buddha's virtues, will soon realize the supreme enlightenment, possess All-Knowledge and All-Modes-of-Knowledge, abide in the world, sound the great Dharma drum, raise the great Dharma banner, become a great Dharma king, and expound the great Dharma mantra." Then he spoke the mantra:

「唵引薩哩嚩二合達哩摩二合引阿婆引嚩娑嚩二合婆引嚩尾秫馱嚩惹囉二合遏阿暗噁」

> Om, all dharmas, unborn, unceasing, indestructible, indestructible.

「一切法相自性清淨，所謂一切如來智身，文殊菩薩清淨出生。呪曰：

> All phenomena, in their essential nature, are pure and clear. This is what is meant by the wisdom body of all Tathagatas, which is born from the purity of Manjushri Bodhisattva. The mantra is:

「噁薩哩嚩二合怛陀引誐多紇哩二合捺野喝囉喝囉唵引吽引紇哩二合」

> OṂ SĀRVA TATHĀGATA HRĪḌAYA HARA HARA OṂ HŪṂ HRĪḤ

「文殊菩薩語自在王，廣大宣說一切法性，猶如虛空圓滿清淨法界智藏。呪曰：

> Manjushri Bodhisattva addressed the King of Eloquence, proclaiming extensively the nature of all phenomena, like the sky, the perfect and pure treasury of wisdom in the realm of dharma. The mantra says:

「阿」

爾時金剛掌菩薩摩訶薩、金剛手菩薩摩訶薩，歡喜踴躍恭敬合掌瞻仰如來。諸佛聖眾大祕密王，隨喜稱讚廣大道場。爾時釋迦牟尼佛讚金剛掌菩薩、金剛手菩薩言：「善哉善哉！汝能顯示文殊所說諸佛祕密最勝名義，利益安樂一切眾生。汝等不久當得阿耨多羅三藐三菩提，得大解脫，於幻網中作大導師，以大清淨甚深妙義開發引導，令諸眾生入佛境界。我今證明，汝等所說最勝名義，此經於一萬六千大祕密教智慧藏中次第流出為三摩地輪，摧伏魔怨消除煩惱，度諸眾生遠離輪迴到菩提岸。」

> At that time, the great Bodhisattva Vajra Palm and the great Bodhisattva Vajra Hand, overflowing with joy, respectfully pressed their palms together and gazed upon the Tathāgata. The holy assembly of Buddhas, the great king of mysteries, rejoiced and praised the vast sacred site. Then, Śākyamuni Buddha praised the Bodhisattva Vajra Palm and the Bodhisattva Vajra Hand, saying: "Excellent, excellent! You have revealed the most supreme and secret meanings of all Buddhas as spoken by Mañjuśrī, bringing benefit and happiness to all sentient beings. Before long, you shall attain Anuttarā Samyaksaṃbodhi, achieve great liberation, and serve as great teachers within the illusory net. Through the supremely pure and profound wonderful meaning, you will guide and awaken all beings, leading them into the realm of Buddhahood. I now bear witness that what you have taught—this most supreme and secret meaning—flows forth in sequence from among the sixteen thousand great mystic teachings of the treasury of wisdom, forming the wheel of samādhi. It subdues demons and enemies, eradicates afflictions, carries sentient beings across the sea of saṃsāra, and brings them to the shore of enlightenment."
