Regarding the first part, it is divided into three: first, twenty [passages] explain physical actions; second, forty explain vocal actions; third, sixty reveal mental actions. Regarding the first part, first, initiating actions based on the body: 1. pervading all places; 2. approaching all capacities; 3. identifying with all sentient beings; 4. traveling to all lands; 5. going to all Buddhas; 6. upholding all lands; 7. crushing all mountains; 8. manifesting all matters; 9. sheltering all sentient beings; 10. manifesting all Buddhas. These are all the functioning of the body, collectively called physical karma. Second, as for the "ten kinds of bodies," according to the preceding question this should be named "purifying physical actions," and below under vocal karma it is also like this. Furthermore, because these take the practiced Dharma as the body, they differ from the preceding. Among them, the first two are the six pāramitās and the four means of embracing; the next two are benevolence and compassion; the next two are merit and wisdom; the next three are essence and function; the last one is the resulting fruit. Second, from "there are ten kinds of mouths" onwards, forty [passages] explain vocal actions. The first ten explain the essence of vocal karma; it should be named verbal karma, because the mouth is included as a bodily part. Among them, 1. leaving behind harsh speech; 2. leaving behind divisive speech; the next two are leaving behind false speech: the first coarse, the second subtle; the remaining six are leaving behind frivolous talk. These are all explained in terms of prohibition. If considered in terms of positive expression, each of the ten reveals one virtue, as can be known from the text. Second, regarding "there are ten kinds of pure actions adorning the bodhisattva's mouth actions," this is said because it reveals the pure causes of verbal karma to adorn their speech. Among them, the first two are actions of grasping the Dharma; the next two are actions of avoiding faults; the next two are actions of gathering good; the next two are actions of Dharma practice; the last two are actions of hearing the Dharma. Through these ten practices, verbal karma is adorned and purified. Third, regarding "attaining ten protections," because the spoken words are truthful and sincere, the unseen spirits observe from afar and thus bestow protection. Adding the assembly of Brahmā kings and the Buddha, the King of the Dharma, to the eight classes makes ten, as is knowable. Fourth, regarding "accomplishing ten great matters," because the internal cause is sincere and the external conditions provide protective support, the power of speech is made vast, accomplishing what is undertaken. 1. Able to sever doubt; 2. able to reach everywhere; 3. stirring their faculties; 4. entering their nature; 5. uprooting their underlying afflictions; 6. removing their habituations; 7. generating pure faith; 8. giving rise to deep joy; 9. causing realization of the principle; 10. attaining the great fruit. Third, from "there are ten kinds of minds" onwards, sixty gates explain mental karma. Among them, the first ten explain the essence of mental karma, and the subsequent fifty reveal the function of mental karma. Regarding the former: 1. the vast mind; 2. the profound mind; 3. the superior mind; 4. the pure mind; 5. the keen mind; 6. the firm mind; 7. the undefiled mind; 8. the rare mind; 9. the mind of wisdom; 10. the boundless mind. These are all minds of aspiration and joy. Second, regarding "there are ten aspirations," once the essence of the mind is fulfilled, it is in accord with principle to give rise to superior functions; hence this is said. Among them, the first six explain the mind benefiting others; the next two, the mind benefiting oneself; the last two, benefiting others within the superior division. Another explanation: the first is general and the remaining nine are specific, and all can be understood as the mind benefiting others. Third, regarding "there are ten kinds of full minds," since the aspiration was previously aroused and cultivation completed, what is undertaken fills the entire dharmadhātu; hence this is said. Among them: 1. the mind of compassion is vast; 2. wisdom tallies deeply; 3. the function of liberation, meaning that the nine times are a single moment, is called liberation; 4. fulfilling the eight aspects; 5. completely knowing the vessels; 6. understanding ultimate truth; 7. comprehending the net of conventionalities; 8. fulfilling the unarisen; 9. penetrating the realm of mind; 10. manifesting equal awakening. Fourth, regarding "there are ten faculties," because the preceding mind is fulfilled, one is capable of serving as a Dharma vessel able to generate [virtues], hence they are called "faculties": 1. the faculty of faith; 2. the faculty of joy, meaning faith increased becomes joy; 3. the faculty of vigor, hence non-retrogression; 4. the faculty of concentration, dwelling in the stage; 5. the faculty of wisdom; 6. the faculty of compassion; 7. firm wisdom; 8. luminous wisdom; 9. serving as a vessel for the dharmakāya; 10. acting as the root for the saṃbhogakāya. Fifth, regarding "there are ten kinds of upright minds," because generating what follows establishes the essence and directly faces what is to be done, it is called "upright." Among them, the first two upright minds turn away from what is below; the next two upright minds accord with what is above; 5. unmoving amidst adversity; 6. undefiled amidst favor; 7. able to uphold in accordance with the Dharma; 8. compassion without choosing places; 9. entering profound meanings; 10. practicing the vast teachings. Sixth, regarding "there are ten profound minds," because of the preceding direct orientation, faith and joy are made earnest and intense, hence called "profound mind." Among them, the first two deeply leave behind obstructions; the next two directly enter the Dharma, one through practice and the second through understanding; 5. knowing phenomena without obstruction; 6. entering extraordinary upāyas; 7. accomplishing what is undertaken; 8. deep concentration; 9. deep vows; 10. deep compassion. Thus far, the characteristics of the practices of the first bhūmi are concluded.
