English version: Mindfulness. The methods of mindfulness are different. Some say there are three: mindfulness of the Buddha (the awakened one), mindfulness of the Dharma (the teachings), and mindfulness of the Sangha (the community). Some say there are four: mindfulness of the body, mindfulness of feelings, mindfulness of the mind, and mindfulness of dharmas. Furthermore, as stated in the *Treatise on the Grounds*, mindfulness associated with the merits of the Dharma and seeking its meaning are also four. Some say there are six: mindfulness of the Buddha, Dharma, Sangha, precepts, giving, and the devas (gods). As explained in the *Nirvana Sutra*. Some say there are eight, as Nagarjuna said, adding two more to the previous six: first, mindfulness of breathing, focusing the mind on the practice of counting breaths; second, mindfulness of death, constantly contemplating the appearance of death. Some say there are ten, as stated in the *Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra*, adding two more to the previous eight: first, mindfulness of cessation, contemplating Nirvana (extinction) as unconditioned and tranquil, giving rise to the intention to seek it; second, mindfulness of the body, contemplating one's own body as impermanent, suffering, empty, without self, and impure, cultivating aversion and detachment. Some say there are eleven, as stated in the *Dasabhumika Sutra*, mindfulness of Bodhisattva conduct, mindfulness of Paramitas (perfections), mindfulness of the Ten Bhumis (grounds), mindfulness of indestructible powers, mindfulness of fearlessness, mindfulness of unique qualities, and even without separation, mindfulness of omniscience. Broadly speaking, all countless Bodhisattvas should be mindful. Samadhi (concentration) refers to the nine successive stages of meditation, the eight dhyanas and the cessation of perception and sensation are the nine concentrations. It can also be said that all Samadhis attained can be called Samadhi. This refers to the vastness of the Samadhis of the Ten Bhumis. Total retention refers to the vastness of Dharani (mantras), this refers to the vastness of the Dharanis of the Ten Bhumis. Eloquence refers to the four kinds of unimpeded eloquence, knowing the Dharma and distinguishing it is called eloquence, and it is also said that distinguishing is also called eloquence, skillful speech is called skill, constantly appearing in thought is called unceasing, and it is also said that uninterrupted is also called unceasing. The first part above praises according to the differences in merit. Some say that this praises the merits before the Ten Bhumis, but that should not be the case. Praising the practice before the Ten Bhumis mostly does not mention these supreme merits. The second part below praises according to the differences in stages, referring to praising the merits of the first Bhumi to the tenth Bhumi. Why is this necessary? A Bodhisattva dwelling in one Bhumi universally encompasses the merits of all the Bhumis, therefore they are praised through each stage. Giving is the merit of the first Bhumi, morality is the merit of the second Bhumi, patience is the merit of the third Bhumi, effort is the merit of the fourth Bhumi, meditation is the merit of the fifth Bhumi, and wisdom is the merit of the sixth Bhumi. The meaning of the six perfections is extensive, as described in other chapters, and should be complete here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: 'Knowing the Dharma is called jnana (wisdom), and penetrating observation is called prajna (insight). This jnana and prajna are generally explained as the same thing, but they are distinguished according to different meanings. It is not that there is no difference; what is the nature of that difference? According to the *Yogacarabhumi-sastra*, knowing the mundane truth is called jnana, and knowing the ultimate truth is called prajna. Therefore, it says in that text: ‘To know all dharmas partially is called jnana-paramita (perfection of wisdom); to awaken to the ultimate truth is called prajna-paramita (perfection of insight).’ Nirvana is also like this. If according to the *Dasabhumika-sastra*, attaining the ultimate truth is called following jnana, and understanding the teachings is called following prajna; both of these explanations are without fault. In these two sutras, for the sake of adornment, it is also called morality, also called auxiliary dharmas, and also said to be the equipment for Bodhi. Speaking of adornment, as the *Nirvana Sutra* says, it can adorn practitioners, so it is called adornment. Moreover, various practices mutually adorn each other, which is also called adornment, like decorative objects interspersed with various treasures. Speaking of morality, as the *Yogacarabhumi-sastra* says, these two internally tame, so it is called morality, and conforming to the Dharma is called propriety. Speaking of auxiliary dharmas, from the perspective of the result, they aid and accord with Bodhi, so they are called auxiliary dharmas. Being able to be the cause of Buddhahood, it is also said to be the equipment for Bodhi. Relying on these two practices to cultivate one's own mind, it is called cultivating the mind. The excellent marks and characteristics adorn the body, expressing virtues are called marks, and only sentient beings can call it good; using these to adorn the form, it is called adorning the body. The marks and characteristics adorn the body, surpassing all in the world, name and form are the foremost. Not needing to rely on other pursuits, therefore abandoning all the decorative and beautiful things of the world.' 'The third part below highlights the excellence of virtue, so it is called lofty and far-reaching. Among them, first, the loftiness and far-reachingness of the name are mentioned, highlighting the excellence of virtue, and the reputation spreads to the highest point, which is called lofty and far-reaching. How does it surpass Mount Sumeru? ‘Surpassing’ means exceeding. Sumeru is a Sanskrit word, here meaning a very high mountain, also called Anming Mountain. It is 3,360,000 li (Chinese miles) high, and its width is the same. It is made of four treasures, with 60,000 mountains as its retinue.' 'From deep faith and firmness onwards, distinguishing virtues and highlighting fame. There are three points: first, explaining the faith; second, from deeply entering into dependent origination onwards, highlighting the understanding; and third, from immeasurable onwards, highlighting the practice. In these three parts, both self-benefit and benefiting others are included. Regarding the first part, deep faith is firm like diamond, which is self-benefit. Determination is called faith. The paths of faith are different, or it can be said that there are two, as the *Dasabhumika Sutra* says, believing in Bodhisattvas.' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
