「降魔至畏故」，四、約降魔說法明道場義。菩薩觀行成就，故能制伏魔怨。「降魔是道場」，初心菩薩能降四魔乃至八魔，見魔界如即佛界如，即真道場，能處魔界心不傾動。「三界是道場」，初心菩薩不離三界、不著三界，見三界三諦成王三昧、二十五三昧，顯一切佛法，即是道場。知三界空，本無所趣。「師子吼是道場」，師子吼者名決定說，初心菩薩能破疑惑，見諸眾生悉有佛性，即是道場。四不可說說四因果，赴機利物決定無畏。

From "Subduing māras" to "fearlessness": fourth, explaining the meaning of the place of awakening in terms of subduing māras and preaching the Dharma. Because the bodhisattva has perfected the contemplative practice, they can subdue the māra enemies. "Subduing māras is the place of awakening": the bodhisattva of the initial mind can subdue the four māras and even the eight māras; seeing that the thusness of the realm of māras is the thusness of the realm of buddhas, this is the true place of awakening, able to dwell in the realm of māras with a mind that is unperturbed. "The three realms are the place of awakening": the bodhisattva of the initial mind does not depart from the three realms and does not cling to the three realms; seeing the three truths of the three realms, they accomplish the king of samādhis and the twenty-five samādhis, and reveal all buddha-dharmas; this is the place of awakening. Knowing that the three realms are empty, there is originally nowhere to go. "The lion's roar is the place of awakening": the lion's roar means definitive discourse; the bodhisattva of the initial mind can destroy doubts and perplexities and see that all sentient beings possess buddha-nature; this is the place of awakening. Speaking of the four causes and effects through the four inexpressibles, responding to capacities to benefit creatures, it is definitive and fearless.
