大毘盧遮那成佛神變加持經 (Shubhakarasimha & Yixing 724) 6.11

6.11

is not called a bodhisattva, who does not cause thoughts of dissension among beings. There is [also] a different expedient means: if those beings produce attachment in accordance with their [wrong] viewpoints, he will utter divisive speech according to their kind and [so] make them abide in the one path, that is to say, the path to the knowledge of an omniscient one.

“Next, Lord of Mysteries, the bodhisattva keeps the precept of not engaging in idle talk. With appropriate words and conforming to time and place, he produces benefits, causes all beings to engender thoughts of joy, and

purifies the path of the organ of hearing. Why? Because the bodhisattva possesses a diverse vocabulary. Alternatively, another bodhisattva may put jocularity to the fore, create pleasure for beings, and [so] make them dwell in the Buddha’s Dharma. Although he utters much meaningless speech, such a bodhisattva is not attached to transmigration through birth-and-death.

“Next, Lord of Mysteries, the bodhisattva should keep the precept of non-covetousness. He does not give rise to defiled thoughts toward another’s things of which he makes use. Why? Because there is no bodhisattva who produces thoughts of attachment. If a bodhisattva’s mind has defiled thoughts, he will become powerless at the gateway to omniscience and will fall to one side. Again, Lord of Mysteries, the bodhisattva should engender joy and produce the thought, ‘It is most excellent that whatever I must do is made to be done spontaneously,’ repeatedly feeling happy for himself, for he must not cause beings to lose their property.

“Next, Lord of Mysteries, the bodhisattva should keep the precept of non-anger. In all circumstances he always cultivates tolerance and is not attached to anger or joy, and his mind operates equably toward foe and kin. Why? A bodhisattva does not harbor ill-will. Why is that? Because the bodhisattva is by his original nature pure. Therefore, Lord of Mysteries, the bodhisattva should keep the precept of non-anger.

“Next, Lord of Mysteries, the bodhisattva should abandon wrong views. He practices right views, fears the otherworld, and is without animosity, without deceit, and without trickery; his mind is upright, and his mind has become fixed upon the Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha. Therefore, Lord of Mysteries, wrong views are deemed to be the very greatest of faults, they cut off all the bodhisattva’s roots of goodness, and they are regarded as the mother of all unwholesome dharmas. Hence, Lord of Mysteries, one should not give rise to the causes and conditions of wrong views, even in jest.”

Then the vajradhara Lord of Mysteries said to the Buddha, “World-honored One, I beg you to explain the cutting off whereby the precepts of the path of ten wholesome [actions] cut off the ultimate roots [of unwholesome actions]. How does a bodhisattva, while acting freely in the position of a king, dwelling in a palace, surrounded by his parents, wife, children, and attendants, and experiencing heavenly pleasures, not commit any faults?”

When the vajradhara had finished speaking thus, the Buddha addressed him, saying, “Excellent, excellent, Lord of Mysteries! You should listen
