3.135

First, the sūtra runs from: "Subhūti! If a bodhisattva says: 'I shall adorn the Buddha lands,' he is not named a bodhisattva..." down to "...if a bodhisattva penetrates the dharma of non-self, the Tathāgata calls him a true bodhisattva." From "this teaching..." downward points to the stage. That is, from the second ground up to equal enlightenment, corresponding to the stage of the path of cultivation. When adorning, one is free from the marks of subject and object, which is called pure. Because it conforms to and pervasively fills the dharmadhātu, it is called complete. Thus the sūtra says: "If one penetrates the dharma of non-self, the Tathāgata calls him a true bodhisattva."
