English version: A Bodhisattva is also like that, like an illusion without discriminating mind. And the Bodhisattva thinks thus: 'Bodhi (觉悟, enlightenment) is neither an object to be attained nor an object to be abandoned; Bodhi is neither a arising nor a ceasing; Bodhi is neither attained by the body nor attained by the mind; Bodhi is neither within, nor without, nor in between; Bodhi has no such thought as: 'I am Bodhi, and a Bodhisattva can attain me.'' World-Honored One! This is called the collection of supreme and wonderful Dharma. 'Furthermore, World-Honored One! A Bodhisattva in the Joyful Ground (Pramudita, the first of the ten bhumis of a Bodhisattva) feels neither shame nor sorrow; in the Stainless Ground (Vimala, the second bhumi) neither increases nor decreases; in the Luminous Ground (Prabhakari, the third bhumi) is neither dark nor bright; in the Blazing Ground (Arcismati, the fourth bhumi) neither takes nor abandons; in the Difficult-to-Conquer Ground (Sudurjaya, the fifth bhumi) has neither victory nor defeat; in the Manifest Ground (Abhimukhi, the sixth bhumi) is neither self-aware nor aware because of others; in the Far-Reaching Ground (Duramgama, the seventh bhumi) neither goes nor stays; in the Immovable Ground (Acala, the eighth bhumi) neither moves nor discriminates; in the Good Wisdom Ground (Sadhumati, the ninth bhumi) neither becomes nor desires to become; in the Dharma-Cloud Ground (Dharmamegha, the tenth bhumi) is neither self-aware nor aware because of others; in the Buddha Ground (Buddhabhumi, the state of Buddhahood) is able to do all things and yet does not do all things.' Therefore, the Tathagata is naturally free from discursive fabrications. World-Honored One! This is called the collection of supreme and wonderful Dharma of a Bodhisattva-Mahasattva. 'World-Honored One! A Bodhisattva thus attains the intelligence of accordance, and is free in the Dharma that is spoken. What is freedom in speaking Dharma? It is because one is not attached to all languages. Furthermore, one attains pure freedom. What is pure freedom? It is because one is not defiled in all places. Furthermore, one attains freedom in joyful speaking. What is freedom in joyful speaking? It means that relying on one Dharma word or phrase, one does not rest even for a moment, and yet one cannot exhaust it even in hundreds of thousands of kalpas. Furthermore, one attains freedom in wisdom. What is freedom in wisdom? It is because for each Dharma word or phrase, one can speak of hundreds of thousands of Dharma doors. Furthermore, one attains freedom in birth. What is freedom in birth? It is that one is born in whatever place is beneficial to sentient beings. Furthermore, one attains freedom in samadhi. What is freedom in samadhi? It is that in every moment, if one wishes to enter samadhi, one can enter samadhi. Furthermore, one attains freedom in sustaining. What is freedom in sustaining? It is that one adds sustaining power to whatever one wishes to sustain—that is to say,' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
