0538.The Vajra Staircase, a Ritual for the Empowerment of the Great Collection Sutra. Dharma Shri..g2.0f

English

As for other classifications, such as the universal light and nectar light, etc., these twelve, even if they are spoken of in the context of the qualities of the Tathagata, are obtained at the end of the twelve samadhis, thus obtaining the twelve wisdom distinctions that are the basis of higher qualities. Therefore, for each of the ten bhumis, such as Joyful, and the bhumi of the complete Buddha, it is also said that these twelve are fully complete. These are some of the views explained by previous teachers quoting scriptures, which are the general tenets of the tantras. Now here, what is appropriate at this time is the self-language of the Compendium Sutra, with the ten bhumis included in the four paths of learning, such as the uncertain bhumi, and the three bhumis included in the path of non-learning, making thirteen bhumis in total. Having determined this, for each bhumi symbolized by a group, one should proceed through the gate of mental entry with the footsteps of skillful means and wisdom. Moreover, you teachers, disciples, Dharma friends, relatives, and all related people, first lead all sentient beings pervading the sky gradually to the path of liberation. Therefore, first, guided by the guru who is the embodiment of the emanation body, gradually lead them to the first bhumi, the uncertain bhumi, the second bhumi, the basis of reliance, the third bhumi, important practice, and the fourth bhumi, the bhumi of constant practice, thus covering the paths of higher realms and the Hearer, Solitary Realizer, and Bodhisattva bhumis in the path of liberation, as well as the seventh bhumi of the accumulation path of the Sutra's own system, the two yogas of mind, and the second of the three of the yoga of distinguishing the great family of the path of application and below. Then, guided by the guru who is the embodiment of the enjoyment body, gradually lead them to the fifth bhumi, the bhumi of the basis of merit, the sixth bhumi, the bhumi of becoming distinguished by reliance, and the seventh bhumi, the bhumi of the arising of fruit by the object of focus, thus covering Kriya, Upa, and Yoga, as well as the third of the path of application of the Sutra's own system, the yoga of great breath entering and exiting of the path of seeing, and the three yogas of obtaining great meaning of the path of meditation. Then, guided by the guru who is the embodiment of the Dharma body, lead them to the eighth bhumi, the bhumi of abiding without change, the ninth bhumi, the bhumi of expanding the nature of reality, and the tenth bhumi, the bhumi of complete spontaneous activity, thus covering Maha Yoga, Anu Yoga, and Ati Yoga, as well as the three yogas of the ultimate path of great perfection of the Sutra's own system.

Furthermore, the chief of the assembly of the Teacher, the Perfectly Complete Buddha, the Vidyādhara Kunjara, asked: The three vehicles of guidance, in what order are they established? Acting without acceptance or rejection with equanimity, not seeking enlightenment from elsewhere, immeasurable supreme methods, is the definitive vehicle not taught? In response, the Teacher said: With the truth of proclaiming the twelve times of appearance in the world, may this great sūtra of the definitive vehicle of liberation cause the teachings to fully blaze as a lamp in the world. It is like this: This great vehicle of definitive reality appears in two and ten instances: It appears when dispelling the suffering of ignorance, it appears when fully establishing the lamp of the world, it appears when certainty is attained, it appears when the essence is determined to be enlightenment itself, it appears when the intention is definitely explained, it appears for the sake of adapting to the means of those to be tamed, it appears from the blessing's manifestation, it appears when the lineage is renowned through skillful means, it appears for the sake of accomplishing what, it appears when the great sūtra is definitely taught, it appears when completely cutting off the karmic stream, it appears when separately contemplating and cultivating the intention. Among these, from all of all places, in all of all ways, it is completely and thoroughly manifest. It has manifested. It will manifest. Thus he spoke, regarding the first question.
