The three virtues of a bodhisattva are identical in meaning to the ocean. \[Seng\]zhao says: The ocean has five virtues: first, it is limpid and does not admit dead corpses; second, it produces many wondrous treasures; third, when great dragons pour down rain in drops like wagon axles, it receives them without overflowing; fourth, wind and sun cannot exhaust it; fifth, its abyss is deep and hard to measure. The mahāsattva's mind is pure and does not admit the corpses of broken precepts; it produces the treasures of luminous wisdom; when the great Dharma-rain of the buddhas falls, it receives it without overflowing; the wind and sun of demonic heterodoxy cannot diminish it; and his wisdom is abyssal and immeasurable. Therefore it is said: 'His mind was vast as the ocean.' > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 2.36](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.36) - [Next: 2.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.38) - [Up: 2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775~en-mt.2.37) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [淨名經集解關中疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.2777.1.228) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.37](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1775.2.37) · Pramāṇa
