注大乘入楞伽經 4.157

4.157

This says that first-bhūmi bodhisattvas, receiving the empowerment of the Tathāgata's spiritual power, enter the illumination samādhi of the Mahāyāna bodhisattvas; having entered it, all Buddhas appear before them and empower them with the three karmas. Just as Vajragarbha, when abiding on the first bhūmi in the Avataṃsaka assembly, and other bodhisattvas who accomplished the characteristics of the merit of the first bhūmi were also empowered in this way.
