Compared to arranging for the manifestation of the earth element, if any son or daughter of good family places even one person in the perfectly complete mind of enlightenment, then that one will generate even more merit. Shariputra, why is that? The arising of hearers and solitary realizers does not prevent the lineage of the Buddhas from being unbroken. If there is no arising of Buddhas, there will be no arising of hearers and solitary realizers. Shariputra, if there is an arising of Buddhas, the lineage of the Buddhas will not be broken, and there will also be the designation of hearers and solitary realizers. Shariputra, other bodhisattvas who thoroughly establish the mind of enlightenment in the mind of enlightenment will completely hold those ten grounds. Shariputra, if they are endowed with those two qualities, bodhisattvas will not decline from their aspirations, and they will completely hold whatever qualities and arrangements of a buddha-field they desire. Shariputra, furthermore, if they are endowed with three qualities, bodhisattvas will not decline from their aspirations, and they will completely hold whatever qualities and arrangements of a buddha-field they desire. What are the three? Shariputra, in this case, bodhisattvas will take it upon themselves to dwell in solitary places, they will give the Dharma as a gift without material possessions, and they will abide in the discipline of morality. Shariputra, bodhisattvas who abide in the discipline of morality will obtain ten fearlessnesses. What are the ten? They are: that they fearlessly enter cities, fearlessly teach the Dharma to their retinue, fearlessly eat food, fearlessly enter temples, fearlessly enter the sangha, fearlessly receive precepts, fearlessly go to the teachers and preceptors, fearlessly show loving-kindness and compassion to their retinue, fearlessly use clothing, food, bedding, medicine for the sick, and possessions, and that what they say will be accepted. Shariputra, bodhisattvas who abide in the discipline of morality will obtain these ten fearlessnesses. Shariputra, bodhisattvas who give the Dharma as a gift with a mind free from attachment will completely hold ten qualities of Dharma. What are the ten? They are: that they do not

of benefit. Shariputra, if a Bodhisattva is endowed with these four qualities, he will not fall away from his aspiration and will fully uphold the qualities and adornments of the Buddha-field as he desires.

Shariputra, furthermore, here, a Bodhisattva aspires to be born in a completely pure Buddha-field, and he becomes completely pure in discipline. Because of his complete purity in discipline, he is born in the place he aspires to. Once born, he thinks and remembers the completely pure Buddha-field, and he holds as signs the excellence of the Shravakas, the excellence of the Bodhisattvas, or the excellence of enjoyment and use. After holding these signs, with respect and compliance, he joins his palms and goes to the Tathagata, and asks the Bhagavan: How should a Bodhisattva practice in order to fully uphold the vast qualities and adornments of the Buddha-field? The Tathagata also knows his superior intention, and shows and truly explains those places that will fully accomplish the vast qualities and adornments of the Buddha-field. After hearing that, he strives accordingly. Shariputra, furthermore, here, a Bodhisattva is endowed with wisdom and ability, he completely abandons ignorance and completely abandons non-action.
