causeway, or royal road³⁰ does not obstruct inferior, average, or superior people, but rather permits easy travel equally. Similarly, the Thus-Gone One shows no bias for inferior, average, or superior beings, is not obscured, and engages them equally by moving with ease among them. (10) Take, for example, the king of medicines called beautiful to behold, found on the snowy king of mountains. As soon as it is seen, all the illnesses that beset all beings will disappear. Similarly, as soon as the Thus-Gone One is seen, all of the illnesses that beset all beings will be cured. Child of good family, bodhisattvas should understand the examples and comparisons of the thus-gone, worthy, completely perfect buddhas through these ten approaches to the way of the Dharma.

“Child of good family, bodhisattvas should understand the buddha³¹ through ten approaches to the way of the Dharma. What are these ten? (1) The buddha as a supporting cause, (2) the buddha as a resultant buddha, (3) the buddha of samādhi, (4) the buddha of aspirations, (5) the buddha of the mind, (6) the essential buddha, (7) the enjoyment buddha, (8) the emanation buddha,³² (9) the conceptually designated buddha, (10) and the buddha in one’s presence.

“What is the buddha as a supporting cause? This refers to the buddha as the supporting cause of the perfections and that which causes the accomplishment of the quality of perfection. That which is accomplished through those two is the accomplished buddha, thus it is called ‘the buddha as a supporting cause.’

“What is the resultant buddha? It is the result of the perfections, which are the supporting cause. It is the arising of the resultant body of the buddha from that result. It is the product of the blessings of beings and the blessings of the Dharma.
