Such activities and functions are not just one, but numerous. This is called the Bodhisattva's Treasury of Faith. Second, this Bodhisattva in this stage fully upholds the three pure precepts, universally benefiting all beings, and does not accept evil precepts.

They do not cling to various views, do not display their own virtues. They are not arrogant, and they permanently cut off killing and other evil deeds. They are filled with compassion for beings, and such activities are not just one. This is called the Treasury of Precepts.

违佛教。一品乃至不可说品广说乃至一三昧乃至不可说三昧。如是等法广为众生或一日说。广说乃至不可说不可说劫说。劫数可尽一文一句义理难尽。得如是等无量辩才为诸众生说真实法。如是业用非一众多是名菩萨辩藏。已说十藏。云何十向。一救护众生离众生想回向。二不坏回向。三等诸佛回向。四至一切处回向。五无尽功德藏回向。六随顺一切坚固善根回向。七等心随顺一切众生回向。八如相回向。九无缚无著解脱心回向。十入法界无量回向。释此向名亦有二种。初总后别。初总名者至斯位已凡所修行。皆为回向无上菩提立回向名。后别名者一此位菩萨所行六度四摄法等。悉为救摄一切有情令离生死得涅槃乐名救护生。入平等观不见怨亲众生等相名离生相。二此位于三宝所得不坏信。因持诸善回向众生令获善利名不坏回向。三此位学三世佛不着生死不离菩提修回向事名等诸佛回向。四此位修习一切诸善根时以彼善根如是回向。令此善根功德之力至于一切三宝之所一切世界众生之所作诸供养利益之事。譬如实际无处不至名至一切处回向。五此位修悔过善根离一切业障。于诸如来一切众生所有善根皆悉随喜。以此善根悉皆回向庄严一切诸佛净刹。常作佛事善巧方便具诸功德离诸虚妄。而无所著由回向已得无尽善根。 现代汉语译本 违背佛教的教义。从一品乃至不可说品,广泛地阐述,乃至一个三昧乃至不可说三昧。像这样的佛法,广泛地为众生宣说,或者用一天的时间宣说,广泛地宣说乃至用不可说不可说的劫数来宣说。劫数有穷尽的时候,但是佛经的一字一句所包含的义理难以穷尽。获得像这样无量的辩才,为众生宣说真实的佛法。像这样的作用非常多,这叫做菩萨的辩才宝藏。以上已经讲了十藏。 什么是十向呢?一是救护众生,远离众生之相的回向。二是不坏回向。三是等同诸佛的回向。四是到达一切处的回向。五是无尽功德藏回向。六是随顺一切坚固善根的回向。七是等同心意随顺一切众生的回向。八是如实之相的回向。九是无缚无著解脱心的回向。十是进入法界无量的回向。 解释这些回向的名称也有两种方式。先总说,后别说。先总说,到达这个位次之后,凡是所修行的,都是为了回向无上菩提,因此立名为回向。后别说,一是这个位次的菩萨所修行的六度(布施、持戒、忍辱、精进、禅定、智慧)四摄法(布施、爱语、利行、同事)等等,都是为了救护摄受一切有情众生,使他们脱离生死,得到涅槃的快乐,所以叫做救护众生。进入平等观,不见怨亲,对一切众生平等相待,叫做远离众生之相。 二是这个位次的菩萨对于三宝(佛、法、僧)所获得的不可破坏的信心,因此以持有的各种善行回向给众生,使他们获得善的利益,叫做不坏回向。三是这个位次的菩萨学习过去、现在、未来三世诸佛,不执着于生死,不离开菩提心,修习回向之事,叫做等同诸佛回向。四是这个位次的菩萨修习一切善根的时候,用这些善根这样回向,使这些善根的功德之力到达一切三宝之处,一切世界众生之处,用来做各种供养和利益的事情。譬如实际(真如)无处不到达,叫做到达一切处回向。 五是这个位次的菩萨修习忏悔过错的善根,远离一切业障。对于诸如来和一切众生所有的善根,都随喜赞叹。用这些善根全部回向,庄严一切诸佛的清净刹土。常常做佛事,善于运用各种巧妙的方便,具备各种功德,远离各种虚妄,而心中没有执着。由于回向的缘故,得到无尽的善根。

English version Contrary to Buddhist teachings. Expounding extensively from one chapter to even unspeakable chapters, and even one Samadhi (state of meditative consciousness) to unspeakable Samadhis. Such Dharma (teachings) are widely preached to sentient beings, either in a day, or extensively preached for unspeakable, unspeakable kalpas (eons). Kalpas may come to an end, but the meaning and principles contained in a single phrase or sentence of the scriptures are inexhaustible. Obtaining such immeasurable eloquence to speak the true Dharma for all beings. Such functions are numerous and diverse, and this is called the Bodhisattva's treasure of eloquence. The ten treasures have been explained above. What are the ten directions (Ten dedications)? First, dedicating merit to rescuing sentient beings, while being free from the perception of sentient beings. Second, indestructible dedication. Third, dedication equal to all Buddhas. Fourth, dedication to reaching all places. Fifth, dedication to the inexhaustible treasury of merit. Sixth, dedication to accord with all firm roots of goodness. Seventh, dedication to accord with all sentient beings with an equal mind. Eighth, dedication to the true nature of reality. Ninth, dedication with a mind free from bondage and attachment, a mind of liberation. Tenth, dedication to entering the boundless realm of Dharma. There are also two ways to explain the names of these dedications. First, a general explanation, then a specific explanation. The general explanation is that upon reaching this stage, all practices are dedicated to unsurpassed Bodhi (enlightenment), hence the name 'dedication'. The specific explanation is that the Bodhisattva in this stage practices the Six Perfections (Dāna (generosity), Śīla (ethics), Kṣānti (patience), Vīrya (effort), Dhyāna (meditation), and Prajñā (wisdom)) and the Four Embracing Dharmas (giving, kind speech, beneficial action, and cooperation), all to rescue and embrace all sentient beings, liberating them from birth and death and enabling them to attain the bliss of Nirvana (liberation), hence the name 'rescuing sentient beings'. Entering into equal contemplation, seeing no difference between enemies and relatives, treating all beings equally, is called 'being free from the perception of sentient beings'. Second, the indestructible faith that the Bodhisattva in this stage has obtained in the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha), therefore, dedicating all the good deeds to sentient beings, enabling them to obtain good benefits, is called 'indestructible dedication'. Third, the Bodhisattva in this stage learns from the Buddhas of the past, present, and future, not clinging to birth and death, not departing from the Bodhi mind, practicing dedication, is called 'dedication equal to all Buddhas'. Fourth, when the Bodhisattva in this stage cultivates all roots of goodness, they dedicate these roots of goodness in such a way that the power of these roots of goodness reaches all places of the Three Jewels, all places of sentient beings in all worlds, to perform various offerings and beneficial deeds. Just as ultimate reality (Tathātā) reaches everywhere, this is called 'dedication to reaching all places'. Fifth, the Bodhisattva in this stage cultivates the roots of goodness of repentance, being free from all karmic obstacles. They rejoice in all the roots of goodness of all the Tathagatas (Buddhas) and all sentient beings. They dedicate all these roots of goodness to adorn all the pure lands of all the Buddhas. They constantly perform Buddha-deeds, skillfully using various expedient means, possessing all virtues, being free from all falsehoods, and without any attachment in their minds. Because of this dedication, they obtain inexhaustible roots of goodness. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
