All Dharmas Are Liberated in the Present Moment

All Dharma spoken by the Buddha points to liberation; every Dharma leads toward Nirvana; no Dharma is separate from Nirvana, and there is not a single Dharma outside of Nirvana. The Dharma Body is Prajna; Prajna is liberation; liberation is Nirvana. None are separate from Suchness. All Dharma are spoken based on Suchness; all are Dharma of liberation. Suchness is unbound; thus all Dharma are unbound. Suchness is liberated; thus all Dharma are liberated. Where one is true, all are true; where one is liberated, all are liberated.

Form does not bind Suchness; sound, scent, taste, touch, and dharmas do not bind Suchness, for Suchness is liberation. Form, sound, scent, taste, touch, and dharmas exist based on Suchness. Form is empty, thus immediately liberated; sound, scent, taste, touch, and dharmas are empty, thus immediately liberated. The eye faculty is empty, thus immediately liberated; the ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind faculties are empty, thus immediately liberated. Eye consciousness is empty, thus immediately liberated; ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind consciousnesses are empty, thus immediately liberated. There is not a single Dharma—whether worldly or beyond—that is not liberated. The great path of liberation is right before you. O virtuous one, recognize it yourself, attain liberation yourself, and realize Nirvana yourself!
