20.22
In the seventh, skillful means, there are also ten kinds: 1. skillful wisdom manifesting in the world as skillful means; 2. compassion not being based on craving or views, hence transforming without wearying, which is compassion and wisdom mutually guiding as skillful means; 3. giving rise to function based on essence; 4. neither abandoning nor receiving, hence unpolluted in all things; 5. ordinary beings and noble ones acting jointly, owing to the twofold negation; 6. practicing the path of non-abiding; 7. contemplating and progressing; 8. manifesting marks without attachment; 9. universally entering all destinies, which is unproduced yet manifesting birth; 10. crossing over and liberating sentient beings, which is uncreated yet manifesting transformation. The first nine are rescuing; the remainder is pariṇāmanā. According to the "Chapter on Causes and Fruits" of the *Yingluo jing*, the latter four perfections also each have three. The three skillful means are: 1. skillful means of progressing, which is the seventh line; 2. skillfully harmonizing existence and non-existence, which, excluding the fourth line, are all encompassed here; 3. neither abandoning nor receiving, which is the fourth line.
