23.32

Regarding the commentary's statement, "Fourth, what the Buddha traverses": the commentary's text has three parts. First, directly explaining the name; second, analyzing categories; third, distinguishing against confusion. The commentary's text from "Or speaking of ten kinds" downward is the second, analyzing categories. Therein, first it is explained in terms of traversing to transform; later it is explained in terms of what is traversed. Now, the first: as for the "ten kinds of transforming without missing the time," this refers to fascicle forty-six, which states: "Buddha-sons! The buddhas, the World-Honoured Ones, have ten kinds of transforming without missing the time. What are the ten? Namely: first, all buddhas realize equal and perfect awakening without missing the time; second, ripening those with conditions; third, bestowing the prediction of bodhi; fourth, in accord with the minds of sentient beings, manifesting spiritual power; fifth, in accord with the understanding of sentient beings, manifesting a buddha-body; sixth, dwelling in great equanimity; seventh, entering villages; eighth, gathering those of pure faith; ninth, taming evil sentient beings; tenth, manifesting the inconceivable spiritual transformations of all buddhas." All have the words "all buddhas" above, and "without missing the time" below.
