7.29

Seventh, the ten teachings of the prose regarding the water-governing spirits. First, great compassion without conditions is called impartiality. Second, boundless practice-dharmas adorn oneself and others. Third, being tranquilly unmoved to observe capacities, and responding when stimulated so as to gather [beings] accordingly: like accumulated snow congealing white in winter, and flowing everywhere without fail in summer. Fourth, wondrous sound expounds the Buddha's profound intent, causing beings to awaken to the revolving and returning of the wondrous Dharma. Fifth, the two lights of body and wisdom universally awaken, open, and transform, abundantly filling the dharmadhātu, pure and without defilement. Sixth, in the pure dharmadhātu, nature and marks are both cut off; when no virtue is not seen, then the great function does not perish. Seventh, because sentient beings are inexhaustible, great compassion is limitless; full without overflowing, it has the meaning of contentment. Flowing or stopping in accord with conditions: this is sovereignty. Eighth, seeing the Buddha everywhere, great joy is therefore boundless. Joy arises from the Buddha, which is the treasury named after the Buddha; like listening to the sound of flowing springs, none fail to be pleased. Ninth, because of the merit of the non-obstruction between nature and marks, one can universally manifest supernormal powers; like a stream reflecting space and form, majestic light billows and shines. Tenth, the practice of taming beings is vast, boundless like space; its functioning never pauses for an instant, inexhaustible like space.
