Second, from 'moment-to-moment giving rise to wisdom' downward, two gates answer the question on original vows. This gate clarifies mounting vows to manifest the eight marks, and the latter gate clarifies that vows do not miss the proper time. Now, the first. However, vows take post-attainment wisdom as their essence; it is from this vow-wisdom that the eight marks and so forth are produced, not that wisdom is produced. Specifically: 1) Mounting vows to descend and be born; 2) The clan in which birth is taken; 3) Learning the path of liberation; 4) Clarifying manifestation; 5) Voice; 6) Transforming beings and adorning lands; 7) Manifesting the Buddha's body; 8) Adornment of marks of mastery and adornment of merit, because they adorn the tathāgatagarbha; 9) Non-obstruction; 10) Wisdom itself, because of correct and universal knowledge. Second, not missing the proper time: movement and stillness depend on conditions; when faculties are mature, one transforms and manifests; when not yet mature, one relinquishes—it is not that vows are not comprehensive, but if capacities are mature and one misses the proper time, it would contravene the original vows. Specifically: 1) Manifestation; 2) Accomplishing conditions for original vows; 3) Knowing lineage and conferring vyākaraṇa; 4) Mastery; 5) Manifesting the body; 6) Wisdom abiding in equanimity; 7) The six faculties being unobstructed; 8) Pure lands gathering faith; 9) Powerful voices subduing the evil; 10) Inconceivable liberation itself.
