English version The characteristics of arising, abiding, and ceasing are called the realm-wisdom of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva (great being Bodhisattva). 'Good man, what is the wisdom of entering of a Bodhisattva?' It refers to the understanding of entering into vast wisdom, profound wisdom, universal wisdom, binding wisdom, piercing wisdom, fearful wisdom, deceptive wisdom, impermanent wisdom, and obstructive wisdom. This is called the entering wisdom of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva. Furthermore, good man, a Bodhisattva knows the entrances as an empty village—like that empty village that does not know itself to be empty. Likewise, these entrances do not know themselves to be empty, like an empty village. If a Bodhisattva knows in this way, it is called entering wisdom. Furthermore, good man, a Bodhisattva knows the twelve entrances in this way—namely, the eye-entrance, the form-entrance, the ear-entrance, the sound-entrance, the nose-entrance, the scent-entrance, the tongue-entrance, the taste-entrance, the body-entrance, the touch-entrance, the mind-entrance, and the dharma-entrance—these entrances are without self, without what belongs to self. If a Bodhisattva knows in this way, it is called entering wisdom. 'Good man, what is the wisdom of the past and future?' It refers to a Bodhisattva knowing the past and knowing the future, which is called the wisdom of the past and future. Furthermore, good man, knowing that the future has no maker and knowing that the past has ceased, this is called the past and future wisdom of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva. 'Good man, what is the wisdom in the path and in the fruit?' It refers to wisdom in the Six Pāramitās (perfections), which is called path-wisdom; it refers to wisdom in the Ten Bhūmis (ten stages of Bodhisattva practice) and in the Tathāgata-bhūmi (Buddha-realm), which is called fruit-wisdom. This wisdom in the path and in the fruit is called the wisdom in the path and in the fruit of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva. 'Good man, this is called the ten wisdoms of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva.' When this Dharma-collection Dharma-gate was spoken, seventy-six thousand Bodhisattva-Mahāsattvas, being good at gathering past karmas, obtained the Anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti (patience with the non-arising of dharmas). At that time, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva (Universal Worthy Bodhisattva) said to the Unobstructed Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva: 'Good man, you should speak of the Dharma-collection corresponding to the Pāramitās (perfections, going to the other shore) of the Bodhisattva-Mahāsattvas. Why? Good man, this is the most supreme Dharma-collection that is spoken, namely, speaking of the Pāramitās: What are the Pāramitās? What is the Dharma-collection of the Pāramitās?' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good man! These are called the collection of Dharma corresponding to the perfections of a Bodhisattva-Mahāsattva.' 'Furthermore, good man! The Bodhisattva does not seek any rewards, but constantly does not abandon the mind of giving, relinquishing all things at all times; without discriminating holding precepts, he is able to relinquish his life, without violating pure precepts; all Dharmas cannot disturb him, but he constantly stays away from the mind of anger and harm; without seeking all Dharmas, he constantly remembers all good roots; without discriminating the mind of stillness, he constantly practices meditation, supernormal powers, and samādhi (concentration).' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
