English version Because of this, afflictions are eternally extinguished. 'If one adorns oneself with the Five Powers (faith, diligence, mindfulness, concentration, and wisdom), one will attain non-ignorance, non-delusion, and will eternally cut off the faults of poverty.' 'If one adorns oneself with the Seven Factors of Enlightenment (mindfulness, investigation of phenomena, energy, joy, tranquility, concentration, and equanimity), one will attain the enlightenment of all truths as they are.' 'If one adorns oneself with the Eightfold Noble Path (right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration), one will be able to realize right wisdom.' 'If one adorns oneself with Śamatha (tranquility), one will be able to cut off all afflictions.' 'If one adorns oneself with Vipaśyanā (insight), one will be able to understand the wisdom of all dharmas.' 'If one adorns oneself with the Right Path, one will be able to fully understand conditioned, unconditioned, and all expedient means.' 'Dragon Lord (Sāgara-nāgarāja)! I have now briefly spoken of adorning oneself with the Ten Virtuous Dharmas, and as for the Ten Powers (the ten powers of a Tathāgata), the Four Wisdoms (Great Mirror Wisdom, Equality Wisdom, Discriminating Wisdom, Accomplishing Wisdom), and the Eighteen Unshared Dharmas (the eighteen unique qualities of a Tathāgata not shared with Śrāvakas or Pratyekabuddhas), and even all the Dharma divisions of the Tathāgata, all will be perfected.' 'Dragon Lord (Sāgara-nāgarāja)! One should extensively explain the matter of adorning oneself with these Ten Virtuous Karmic Paths, and one should cause beings to cultivate and learn them. Dragon Lord (Sāgara-nāgarāja)! For example, the earth can provide all the countries, cities, villages, and even forests, trees, and medicinal herbs in the human realm with a place to dwell; moreover, all actions have seeds, and seeds are composed of the Four Great Elements (earth, water, fire, and wind); just as when a grain of rice first sprouts, and until it matures, it all depends on the earth. Dragon Lord (Sāgara-nāgarāja)! These Ten Virtuous Karmic Paths can provide all sentient beings in heaven and the human realm with a superior and wonderful place to dwell; they can cause all conditioned and unconditioned dharmas to attain the fruit of wisdom; they can provide a place to dwell for all Śrāvakas, Pratyekabuddhas, and even Bodhisattvas and Anuttara-samyak-sambodhi; they also serve as the fundamental basis for the dwelling of all Buddha-dharma.' 'Dragon Lord (Sāgara-nāgarāja)! All of you should generate faith and understanding with a righteous mind in what I have said.' At that time, the Sāgara-nāgarāja (Sāgara-nāgarāja), along with all the Bodhisattva-mahāsattvas (Bodhisattva-mahāsattva) in the assembly, all the Śrāvakas (Śrāvaka), and all the great assembly of Devas (Deva), Manusyas (Manusya), Asuras (Asura), Gandharvas (Gandharva), and others, having heard what the Buddha said, rejoiced and practiced accordingly.
