Second, in explaining the title: according with conditions and conforming to principle, engaging in cultivation is called 'practice'. In number they exceed the dust and sands, but are set forth as ten based on the perfect [number]. The Benevolent Kings Sūtra calls them the 'ten cessations', because within the three trainings, the mind of samādhi is increased. The Brahmā Net Sūtra calls them 'nurturing', because they nurture the roots of the path. If complete according to the Sanskrit text, it should be called 'A Multitude of Flowers of Merit'. The Bodhisattva expounding the Chapter on the Ten Practices also includes the person capable of expounding; the current text merely abbreviates it.
