English version Samadhi (eliminates the habitual tendencies of self-benefit of Sravakas, which cause the karmic retribution of birth and death; it is said to attain the fruit of the Great Self). The Tenth Dharma Cloud Ground: One considers oneself to have attained boundless good dharmas, universally benefiting sentient beings; one's compassion covers like clouds, and the Dharma's blessings are like rain, capable of causing good roots to sprout and the meaning of the Bodhi path to grow. Therefore, the *Dasabhumika Sutra* says, 'Attaining the Great Dharma Body, possessing complete freedom, is called the Dharma Cloud Ground.' This is because, with the wisdom of application, one eliminates the ignorance that prevents freedom in all dharmas, and one realizes that the cause of karma lies in the increase of the merit and wisdom Paramita (Perfection) that relies on the mind. This entire ground is cultivated with the Surangama Samadhi (eliminates the habitual tendencies of self-love of Pratyekabuddhas, which cause the absence of karmic retribution of birth and death; it is said to attain the fruit of the Great Constant). The Eleventh Equal Enlightenment Ground: Embodying the essence of great tranquility, settling the mind in equality, illuminating all types of wisdom, one aspect without duality; therefore, it is called the Equal Enlightenment Ground, also called the Immaculate Ground, because the defilements of afflictions and habitual tendencies are completely exhausted. It is called the Vajra Mind, eliminating the dwelling place of ignorance. The Twelfth Wonderful Enlightenment Ground: Fully illuminating the inner fusion, exhaustively examining the essence of Dharma-nature, without a beginning of cultivation, exhausting the subtle, reaching the ultimate; therefore, it is called Wonderful Enlightenment, also called the Buddha Ground. All types of wisdom manifest, reaching unsurpassed Bodhi. After the Vajra and before reaching the ultimate constant fruit, in the dwelling of Equal Enlightenment, eliminating the habitual tendencies of afflictions, eradicating birth and death, it is called the Unobstructed Path. Now, in this ground, attaining Bodhi, realizing the fruit beyond the fruit of Nirvana, it is called the Liberation Path. The reason why the aforementioned twelve holy positions are called 'grounds' is because they have two essential meanings: first, they are capable of sustaining myriad virtues, so they are commonly likened to the earth. The Forty-Two Sages: Ten Understandings, Ten Practices, Ten Dedications, Ten Grounds, Equal Enlightenment Ground, Wonderful Enlightenment Ground; the total number is forty-two sages. The Twelve Dwelling Grounds: Nature Dwelling (i.e., the Ten Understandings and Ten Practices), Understanding and Practice Dwelling (i.e., the Ten Dedications), Joyful Practice (First Ground), Increased Precepts (Second Ground), Increased Intent Dwelling (Third Ground), Increased Wisdom Dwelling Corresponding to the Factors of the Path (Fourth Ground), Increased Wisdom Dwelling Corresponding to the Truths (Fifth Ground), Increased Wisdom Dwelling Corresponding to Dependent Origination (Sixth Ground), Dwelling of No-Form with Practice and Development (Seventh Ground), Dwelling of No-Form without Practice and Development (Eighth Ground), Dwelling of No-Attainment (Ninth Ground). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: The Ten Abodes (Dasa-sthana) refer to the ten stages where Bodhisattvas reside (the ten Bhumis). It is where the supreme Bodhisattvas dwell (the ten Bhumis). A Bodhisattva's status is called an abode. Furthermore, it is called an abode because of the firmness of virtuous practice. The categories of abodes are different, totaling twelve. The Vimalakirti Sutra says, 'My mind has been in this room for twelve years,' referring to the twelve abodes as twelve years, not the twelve months of a worldly year. The Four Paths and Four Fruits of the Mahayana: Srota-apanna-pratipadaka (Stream-enterer Path) refers to the Three Worthies Bodhisattvas before the first Bhumi. Srota-apanna (Stream-enterer Fruit) of the Mahayana refers to the Bodhisattva of the first Joyful Bhumi. Sakrdagami-pratipadaka (Once-returner Path) of the Mahayana refers to the Bodhisattvas of the second, fourth, and fifth Bhumis. Sakrdagami (Once-returner Fruit) of the Mahayana refers to the Bodhisattva of the sixth Bhumi. Anagami-pratipadaka (Non-returner Path) of the Mahayana refers to the Bodhisattva of the seventh Bhumi. Anagami (Non-returner Fruit) refers to the Bodhisattva of the eighth Bhumi. Arhat-pratipadaka (Arhat Path) refers to the Bodhisattva of the ninth Bhumi. Arhat (Arhat Fruit) refers to the Bodhisattva of the tenth Bhumi. The Buddha is the Arhat Fruit of the Mahayana, but the Bodhisattvas of the tenth Bhumi dwell in the ultimate Bhumi with the Buddha, hence they also receive the name Arhat Fruit. The Four Stages: First is the Stage of Aspiration, second is the Stage of Vision, third is the Stage of Cultivation, and fourth is the Stage of Ultimate Attainment. The Stage of Aspiration refers to the thirty minds of Bodhisattvas before the first Bhumi, collectively called the Stage of Aspiration. It is because they understand the Dharmakaya (body of the Law) with wisdom but have not yet seen the Tathata (Suchness) with realized wisdom. Because they seek to see Suchness, it is called Aspiration. The Bodhisattvas of the Ten Faiths still endure the segmented birth and death of the Three Realms, discerning the emptiness of existence, counteracting the disbelief obstacle of the Icchantika (incorrigible beings), severing the afflictions of the Four Abodes, and exhausting the karmic retribution of segmented birth and death before entering the Stage of the Ten Understandings. The Bodhisattvas of the Ten Understandings achieve the contemplation of the emptiness of existence, counteracting the attachment to self of the heretics. The Bodhisattvas of the Ten Practices cultivate the contemplation of the emptiness of phenomena, practicing self-benefit and benefiting others, counteracting the self-benefit obstacle of the Sravakas (Hearers). The Bodhisattvas of the Ten Dedications achieve the contemplation of the emptiness of phenomena, generating great compassionate vows, taking forms in the six realms to teach and transform sentient beings, counteracting the self-love obstacle of the Pratyekabuddhas (Solitary Buddhas). These thirty minds of Bodhisattvas before the first Bhumi counteract the four types of obstacles, but only remove the fundamental afflictions, not yet treating the habitual tendencies. The Bodhisattvas of the Ten Bhumis begin to sever the habitual tendencies, which are recorded in order under the names of the Ten Bhumis. The Stage of Vision is to enter the first Bhumi and see the Buddha-nature of Suchness within oneself. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
