'Do not violate these precepts; those who violate them are not Bodhisattvas.' This is how a Bodhisattva fully possesses the correct precepts. Being a 'one-lifetime-away' Bodhisattva (referring to a Bodhisattva who will become a Buddha in the next life), they will become a Buddha sooner or later. Their light and auspicious marks have already appeared. This is the perfection of merit, all virtues have manifested, their majestic power is complete, and all respect them. No one dares to offend such a Bodhisattva. After the Buddha finished speaking about the twelve periods of correct precepts for Bodhisattvas' merits, Manjushri (Manjusri) Bodhisattva and all the assembled Bodhisattvas with supernatural powers, flying Bodhisattvas, accomplished Bodhisattvas, manifestation Bodhisattvas, and all the Bodhisattvas from the eight directions, above and below, Bhadraka (Bhadrika) Bodhisattva (Virtuous Protector Bodhisattva), Raudranakratin (Raudranakratin) Bodhisattva, Kovyati (Kovyati) Bodhisattva, Nagadatta (Nagadatta) Bodhisattva, Shami (Shami) Bodhisattva, Mahasu (Mahasu) Bodhisattva, and Bodhisattva Indradatta (Indradatta), and Bodhisattva Varunadeva (Varunadeva), and others, totaling seventy-two thousand people, all greatly rejoiced and were delighted. Each manifested light, illuminating each other. Each straightened their robes, came forward, and touched their heads to the ground, paying homage to the Buddha. The Twelfth Period After the Buddha finished speaking about the twelve periods of Bodhisattva precepts, Manjushri (Manjusri) said to the Buddha, 'With what merits do Bodhisattvas attain these Ten Dwellings (ten stages in the Bodhisattva path)? May the World Honored One explain them in detail.' The Buddha said, 'Excellent, excellent! Manjushri (Manjusri)! Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas) are loved and cherished by many, and bring peace and stability to many. I will explain the essentials to you in detail. Listen carefully and receive them with your heart.' Manjushri (Manjusri) Bodhisattva said, 'I will receive your teachings!' The Buddha said, 'The merits of the Bodhisattvas in the Ten Dwellings have their own levels and their own order.' Manjushri (Manjusri) Bodhisattva asked, 'What are the ten?' 'The first dwelling is the Dharma Dwelling of Vimalakirti (Vimalakirti) Bodhisattva.' The Buddha said, 'Seeing the teacher above, upright and incomparable, looking at his face without weariness, without anyone surpassing him, noble and without anyone exceeding him, his teachings without anyone surpassing them, seeing the Buddha's majestic and dignified manner in this way, one gradually enters the Buddha's path, guiding others, all according to their wishes, teaching them and liberating them. Seeing those who are diligent and suffering, one pities them, gradually helping them understand the Buddha's words, believing in and inclining towards the Dharma, newly aspiring to learn the Buddha's path, all wishing to attain.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: Knowing, the Buddha's wisdom must attain ten difficult points to be fully acquired. What are the ten difficult points? The ten powers of the Buddha are: First, one should make offerings to the Buddha; second, one should teach him according to his preferences; third, the places of birth are all noble; fourth, there is no one in heaven and earth who can match him; fifth, all of the Buddha's wisdom is acquired; sixth, in every place of birth throughout generations, one can see countless Buddhas; seventh, all the Buddha's scriptures are acquired; eighth, all kinds of births and deaths are transcended; ninth, one is now about to be liberated from births and deaths; tenth, all people in the ten directions are liberated. 'Second dwelling, what is the Dharma dwelling of Ajita (Ajita, invincible) Bodhisattva?' The Buddha said: 'There are ten thoughts, thinking of the people in the ten directions. What are the ten thoughts? First, to think of all the good in the world; second, a pure heart; third, all are peaceful; fourth, a gentle heart; fifth, all love equally; sixth, the mind only wants to give to others; seventh, the mind should all be guarded; eighth, to think that people and my body are no different; ninth, to think of the people in the ten directions, I regard them as teachers; tenth, to think of the people in the ten directions, regard them as Buddhas. The Dharma of Ajita Bodhisattva should be to study the scriptures more; after studying the scriptures more, one should live alone in the mountains; living alone in the mountains, one should associate with good teachers; associating with good teachers, one should be by the side of good teachers, one should be easy to use, one should always obey, and what one does at any time should be courageous; since what one does is courageous, one should learn to enter wisdom, and all the Dharma received in the heart should be remembered; since all is remembered, all the remembered Dharma should not be forgotten; since one does not forget, one should live in the mountains in a peaceful place.' Why? For the sake of benefiting the people in the ten directions. 'Third dwelling, what is the Dharma dwelling of the Bodhisattva like Ajita?' The Buddha said: 'Entering into all Dharmas, using ten things. What are the ten things? First, all that exists is impermanent; second, all that exists is diligent suffering; third, all that exists is false; fourth, all that exists is not mine; fifth, all that exists has no owner; sixth, all that exists has no benefit; seventh, all that exists has no place to stop; eighth, all that exists has no...' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
