26.29

四明此地於三界中得何界解脫者，此地明處一切世間行方便利生，不染世法解脫門。亦以善財所得菩薩廣大歡喜解脫門是。如經云「此七地功用行滿，得入智慧自在行。」又云「初地中緣一切佛法願求滿故，第二地離心垢故，第三地願轉增長得法光明法故，第四地入道故，第五地順世所作故，第六地入甚深法門故，第七地起一切佛法故，皆亦滿足菩提分法故。」又明從初地乃至第七地成就智功用故，第八地乃至十地成就無功用行故，明第七地已前皆有功用，八地已去得無功用。

Fourth, explaining the liberation of which realm among the three realms is attained on this ground: This ground clarifies the liberation gate of abiding in all worldly practices through skillful means to benefit sentient beings without being defiled by worldly dharmas. It is also the liberation gate of vast bodhisattva joy attained by Sudhana. As the sūtra states: "On this seventh ground, effortful practice is fulfilled, and one gains entry to the sovereign practice of wisdom." It also states: "On the first ground, because the aspirations seeking all Buddha-dharmas are fulfilled; on the second ground, because mental defilements are left behind; on the third ground, because aspirations further increase and one attains the dharmas of Dharma-illumination; on the fourth ground, because one enters the path; on the fifth ground, because one accords with worldly activities; on the sixth ground, because one enters profound Dharma gates; and on the seventh ground, because one gives rise to all Buddha-dharmas, the factors of bodhi are also completely fulfilled." It also explains that from the first ground up to the seventh ground, one accomplishes the exertion of wisdom, whereas from the eighth ground up to the tenth ground, one accomplishes effortless practice, which clarifies that prior to the seventh ground all involves effort, while from the eighth ground onward one attains the effortless.
