26.36

四以其大悲能隨染淨不染淨菩提者，明前六地行六波羅蜜得出世間及世間並出菩提。至此第七地以出世間及世間並出菩提用入世間，同一切凡夫事業，成大慈悲行，使普賢行得圓滿故。雖同俗染，以智無染性、處世無著故，如蓮華處水恒生水中不濕故。又以本願處世利生，以於智體無自貪世樂故，不樂愛慢憍世所榮奢故。又明智體無依無性，能隨大願處於俗流，不屬染淨而自在故。此之第七地法門，非二乘所及，亦非行六波羅蜜忻厭煩惱菩薩所知。如下文，六通菩薩所不能知，為證漏盡通故，不能隨於生死具普賢行滿大悲故。為於生死有忻厭，有疲勞，樂生淨土故。

Fourth, awakening that, through its great compassion, can follow defilement and purity without being defiled or purified: this explains that by practicing the six pāramitās in the previous six grounds, one attains an awakening that transcends the world and an awakening that transcends both worldly and mundane existence. Arriving at this seventh ground, using the awakening that transcends both worldly and mundane existence to enter into the mundane world, one joins in all the pursuits of ordinary beings to accomplish the practice of great loving-kindness and compassion, causing the conduct of Samantabhadra to become perfected. Although mingling with worldly defilement, because wisdom by nature has no defilement and one dwells in the world without attachment, it is like a lotus flower dwelling in water, constantly growing in water without becoming wet. Furthermore, abiding in the world to benefit sentient beings by the power of original vows, because in the substance of wisdom there is no personal craving for worldly pleasure, one does not delight in affection, pride, arrogance, and worldly luxuries and glory. It also explains that because the substance of wisdom is without reliance and without inherent nature, it is able to follow great vows and dwell in the worldly stream, belonging neither to defilement nor purity, but remaining sovereign and free. This Dharma-gate of the seventh ground is beyond the reach of the Two Vehicles, nor can it be known by bodhisattvas who practice the six pāramitās while craving purity and dreading afflictions. As the text below says, it cannot be known by bodhisattvas endowed with the six superknowledges, because having realized the exhaustion of contaminations, they cannot accompany birth-and-death to fully embody Samantabhadra's conduct and fulfill great compassion; because toward birth-and-death they have yearning and aversion, and become fatigued, delighting in being born in pure lands.
