Therein, the first ten preach the Dharma through spoken voice; the next ten preach the Dharma through other matters; the last ten adduce causes to conclude with fruits. Regarding the first, 'approaches to preaching the Dharma,' it reveals the approaches to the Dharma that are preached. The first three preach approaches to the Dharma corresponding to the stages of sentient beings: first, the tathāgatagarbha is the realm (dhātu); second, wholesome, unwholesome, and immovable are the actions (karma); third, suffering, pleasure, and so forth are the retributions obtained through actions. The next two are approaches to transforming sentient beings: first, saving sentient beings through measureless upāya, which refers to teaching contemplation of impurity to those with much greed, and so forth; second, purifying the conduct of sentient beings, conferring the trainings of the precepts and so forth. The next two are approaches to transforming bodhisattvas: first, practice; second, vows. The next two are approaches of preaching defilement and purity to evoke aversion and aspiration: the first preaches the success and failure of defiled fruits to induce aversion; the second preaches purity to induce aspiration; the last is the approach of preaching the appearance of the buddhas of the three times to cause beings to go and make offerings. In the second, 'constantly performing buddha-work for sentient beings,' using these ten dharmas to awaken sentient beings and lead them into the Dharma to achieve benefits is termed buddha-work. Being performed without cessation, it is therefore called 'constant.' The first two perform it through body and speech; the next two perform buddha-work through receiving or not receiving, meaning receiving to help them achieve generosity, and not receiving to make them learn to have few desires; the next two perform buddha-work through the four great spiritual powers; the next two perform buddha-work through names and lands; the last two silently abide in the ocean of buddha-lands to perform buddha-work, up to all dharmas being capable of serving as buddha-work, constantly performed without cessation. In the third, 'dharmas of the steadfast hero,' if one can practice these ten steadfast dharmas, they are called the dharmas of the steadfast hero: first, steadfast vows; second, steadfast practice; third, steadfast teaching and transformation; fourth, steadfast great compassion; fifth, steadfast great mind; sixth, steadfastly turning away from the world toward renunciation; seventh, steadfastly turning away from the Hīnayāna toward the Mahāyāna; eighth, steadfastly illuminating dharmas with a pure mind; ninth, steadfastly tiring of greatness to rescue beings; tenth, steadfastly taking on suffering to gather sentient beings. The above concludes the answer to the question on the Buddha's voice. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.69](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15.69) - [Next: 15.71](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15.71) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733~en-mt.15.70) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15.70](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15.70) · Pramāṇa
