English version: All three virtues (Dharmakāya virtue, Prajñā virtue, and Liberation virtue) emit light, being extremely bright and pure. These three dharmas, neither vertical nor horizontal, are called the Secret Treasury. This is what is referred to in the following treatise as 'Essence' (inherent Dharmakāya virtue), 'Measure' (inherent Prajñā virtue), and 'Possession' (inherent Liberation virtue). 'Essence' is the inherent Dharmakāya virtue; 'Measure' is the inherent Prajñā virtue; 'Possession' is the inherent Liberation virtue. These are also the Three Truths (Truth of Emptiness, Truth of Conventional Existence, and Truth of the Middle Way). Permanence is the Truth of the Middle Way; Stillness is the Truth of Conventional Existence; Light is the Truth of Emptiness. Speaking of the three as one, it is not vertical; speaking of the one as three, it is not horizontal. Neither vertical nor horizontal, inconceivable, therefore it is called the Secret Treasury. This is inherent virtue. As for cultivated virtue, the following text says: 'Those who cultivate it, accord with their nature and illuminate clearly.' This means cultivating the contemplation of emptiness, breaking through the delusions of views and thoughts, according with the nature of the Truth of Emptiness, and accomplishing Prajñā virtue; cultivating the contemplation of provisional existence, breaking through the delusions of countless kalpas, according with the nature of the Truth of Conventional Existence, and accomplishing Liberation virtue; cultivating the contemplation of the Middle Way, breaking through ignorance, according with the nature of the Truth of the Middle Way, and accomplishing Dharmakāya virtue. The combination of inherent virtue and cultivated virtue is where the pure Dharmakāya dwells. From the perspective of the principle of inherent virtue, it is called 'Land'; from the perspective of the wisdom of cultivated virtue, it is called 'Body'. Body and Land are one and the same, not two aspects. There is no sense of each being separate and different here, but in reality, it pervades all different realms, because these different realms have no place to be established apart from this. ○2. The Land of Actual Reward Without Obstruction The Land of Actual Reward Without Obstruction is in accordance with the Actual Reality (the true and unfalsified nature of all dharmas), the true reward of actions, hence it is called 'Actual Reward'. Form and mind are free, dust motes and lands contain each other, hence it is called 'Without Obstruction'. This land is where the forty-one positions of the perfect teaching and the great bodhisattvas of the grounds of the distinct teaching dwell. The body can manifest the land, and the land can also manifest the body, not violating the Dharma-nature, supremely wonderful and adorned, as described in detail in the Avatamsaka Sutra's Sea of the Establishment of the Dharma Realm. It is also called the Land of Partial Realization of Eternal Tranquil Light, where the great Dharmakāya bodhisattvas reside. ○3. The Land of Expedient Remainder The Land of Expedient Remainder is a pure land outside the Three Realms, where the saints of the Three Vehicles cultivate the path of expedient means, hence it is called 'Expedient'. They have exhausted the delusions of views and thoughts, but have not eliminated the distinct delusions; they have left behind the suffering of birth and death in the realms of desire, form, and formlessness, but have not avoided the suffering of transformation, hence it is called 'Remainder'. It refers to the nine types of beings who are born in this land. The two types of beings of the Tripitaka teaching are the Śrāvakas and Pratyekabuddhas. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: It teaches three types of individuals: Shravakas (those who attain enlightenment by hearing the Buddha's teachings), Pratyekabuddhas (those who attain enlightenment through observing the causes and conditions of things), and Bodhisattvas above the sixth Bhumi (those who have realized the sixth stage of the Bodhisattva path). The Separate Teaching (referring to the teachings other than the Tripitaka teaching, namely the Shared Teaching, the Distinct Teaching, and the Perfect Teaching) teaches three types of individuals: the Ten Abodes (ten stages in the Bodhisattva's practice), the Ten Practices (ten types of conduct in the Bodhisattva's practice), and the Ten Dedications (ten types of dedication in the Bodhisattva's practice). The Perfect Teaching (the most complete teaching) teaches one type of individual: the Ten Faiths (ten kinds of faith in practice). These nine types of individuals only cultivate the contemplation of emptiness (meditation on the emptiness of all things), severing the common afflictions of views and thoughts (wrong views and thoughts). Although the Separate and Perfect Teachings cultivate the contemplation of provisionality and the contemplation of the middle way, ignorance (delusion about the true nature of things) has not yet been eradicated, and they have not yet truly realized reality. Therefore, it is called expedient (a provisional means). It is also called the Land of Actual Reward (the land of true retribution), because it is the place of actual reward for the saints of the Three Vehicles (the Shravaka Vehicle, the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, and the Bodhisattva Vehicle). ○ The Land of Co-residence of Ordinary Beings and Saints The Land of Co-residence of Ordinary Beings and Saints is originally brought about by the flawed good karma, unwholesome karma, and unwavering karma (karma from meditative states) of ordinary beings. And saints also reside here, so it is called the Land of Co-residence of Ordinary Beings and Saints. First, explain ordinary beings, then explain saints. Ordinary beings refer to the Three Realms and Nine Grounds. The Three Realms refer to the Desire Realm (the world full of desires), the **Realm (original text, should be the Form Realm, referring to the world of tangible matter), and the Formless **Realm (original text, should be the Formless Realm, referring to the spiritual world without form). The Nine Grounds refer to: 1. The Ground of Mixed Dwelling of the Five Destinies (where beings of the five paths of existence dwell together), 2. The Ground of Joy and Bliss Born of Detachment (where joy and bliss arise from detachment from the Desire Realm), 3. The Ground of Joy and Bliss Born of Samadhi (where joy and bliss arise from meditative concentration), 4. The Ground of Wonderful Bliss Born of Detachment from Joy (where wonderful bliss is experienced from detachment from joy), 5. The Ground of Purity of Abandonment of Thought (where purity is attained by abandoning distracting thoughts), 6. The Ground of the Realm of Boundless Space (where the boundlessness of space is experienced), 7. The Ground of the Realm of Boundless Consciousness (where the boundlessness of consciousness is experienced), 8. The Ground of the Realm of Nothingness (where the state of nothingness is experienced), 9. The Ground of the Realm of Neither Perception nor Non-Perception (where there is neither perception nor non-perception). The initial Ground of Mixed Dwelling of the Five Destinies refers to the Desire Realm, where the three evil paths of hell beings, hungry ghosts, and animals, the human path, and the six Desire Heavens (the six heavens in the Desire Realm) dwell together. Therefore, it is called the Mixed Dwelling of the Five Destinies. 2. The Ground of Joy and Bliss Born of Detachment refers to the First Dhyana Heavens, namely the Heaven of the Multitude of Brahma, the Heaven of the Ministers of Brahma, and the Great Brahma Heaven. They have detached from the five desires (form, sound, smell, taste, and touch) and generated the five qualities of the First Dhyana, namely initial thought, sustained thought, joy, bliss, and one-pointedness of mind. Therefore, it is called the Ground of Joy and Bliss Born of Detachment. 3. The Ground of Joy and Bliss Born of Samadhi refers to the Second Dhyana Heavens, namely the Heaven of Limited Light, the Heaven of Unlimited Light, and the Heaven of Luminous Sound. These three heavens have further detached from the initial thought and sustained thought of the First Dhyana and attained the four qualities of inner purity, joy, bliss, and one-pointedness of mind. Therefore, it is called the Ground of Joy and Bliss Born of Samadhi. 4. The Ground of Wonderful Bliss Born of Detachment from Joy refers to the Third Dhyana Heavens, namely the Heaven of Limited Purity, the Heaven of Unlimited Purity, and the Heaven of Universal Purity. These three heavens have further detached from the joy of the Second Dhyana and attained the five qualities of the Third Dhyana: equanimity, mindfulness, wisdom, bliss, and one-pointedness of mind. Therefore, it is called the Ground of Wonderful Bliss Born of Detachment from Joy. 5. The Ground of Purity of Abandonment of Thought refers to the Fourth Dhyana Nine Heavens, blessings (original text incomplete) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
