Note on the transliteration:

The transliteration system of the BP/TLB is based on the Unicode/UTF-8 system. However, there may be difficulties with some of the letters – particularly on PC/Windows-based systems, but not so much on the Mac. We have chosen the most accepted older and traditional systems of transliteration against, e.g, Wylie for Tibetan, since with Unicode it is possible, in Sanskrit and Tibetan, etc., to represent one sound with one letter in almost all the cases (excepting Sanskrit and Tibetan aspirated letters, and Tibetan tsa, tsha, dza). We thus do not use the Wylie system which widely employs two letters for one sound (ng, ny, sh, zh etc.).

Important:

We ask you in particular to note the use of the ’ apostrophe and not the ' representing the avagrāha in Sanskrit, and most important the ’a-chuṅ in Tibetan. On the Mac the ’ is Alt-M.

4. Enlightenment and suchness Moreover, Subhuti, Bodhisattvas will stand in irreversibility if, when they hear this deep perfection of wisdom being taught, they resolutely believe in it, are not stupefied, do not hesitate or doubt; if in the resolute belief that “so it is, as the Tathagata has taught” they go on listening to it in greater detail; and if they make up their minds that they will want to listen in still greater detail to this perfection of wisdom in the presence of the Tathagata Akshobhya; and if they will resolutely believe when they listen to just this perfection of wisdom in the presence of persons belonging to the vehicle of the Bodhisattvas who in his Buddha-field lead the holy life. (453) Thus I teach that merely to hear the perfection of wisdom achieves much. How much more will be achieved by those who resolutely believe in it, who, after that, take up a position in relation to Thusness and progress to Thusness, and who, after that, stand firmly in Suchness and who, standing firmly in Suchness and in all-knowledge, will demonstrate dharma.

Subhuti: If, O Lord, one cannot get at any different dharma, distinct from Suchness, then what is that dharma that will stand firmly in Suchness, or that will know full enlightenment, or that will demonstrate this dharma? The Lord: One cannot get at any different dharma, distinct from Suchness, that will stand firmly in Suchness. The very Suchness, to begin with, is not apprehended, how much less he who will stand firmly in Suchness. Suchness does not know full enlightenment, and no dharma is got at that has known full enlightenment, that will do so, or that does so. Suchness does not demonstrate dharma, and that dharma cannot be got at which would be demonstrated. (454,1)
