If a man comes to me asking for the Buddha, as a man of no reliance, I present myself in a state of purity and cleanliness. If he asks for a bodhisattva, I present myself in a state of mercy and benevolence. If he asks for Bodhi — true wisdom — I present myself in a state of purity and exquisite superbness. If he asks for Nirvana — compete enlightenment — I present myself in a state of utter serenity. Though there are hundreds of thousands of states, as a man of nonreliance, I am always the same. Therefore, my presentation of various states according to the requirements is just like the Moon that freely presents its images on every surface of water.
