In this stage, those experienced lords of contentment
Destroy the actions of false teachers, the abodes of manifold views.
All the good they do is in the cause of enlightened knowledge,
Wishing to become saviors of beings, rich in the ten powers.
[...]
They practice generosity without concern for appearances,
With well-disciplined minds, fundamentally tranquil, extremely calm:
They tolerate what is made in the world, knowing the imperishable truth;
They are endowed with vigor and strength, detached from all things.
