From the initial cultivation up to this completion of practice, they blend into the ocean of fruition, named the Dharmakāya. Loving-kindness is compassion; being able to shade sentient beings, it is called 'compassionate shade'. The 'wondrous cloud' is wisdom; 'nirvāṇa' is principle. The Dharmakāya is signless; only these three kinds are also called great concentration, wisdom, and compassion, which are the three virtues of nirvāṇa, named the secret treasury. Now, in this stage one is still at the culmination of cultivation; the hindrance to the buddha-ground still remains, and initial enlightenment is not yet fully united with original enlightenment, so the two marks still persist; hence it is said 'covering the ocean of nirvāṇa'. On this ground, one realizes the tathatā that is the basis for mastery in action; meaning that if one realizes this tathatā, one attains four masteries: first, over the three actions; second, over the five supernatural knowledges; third, over dhāraṇī; fourth, over dhyāna-concentration. One severs the hindrance of not having attained mastery among all dharmas, and cultivates the jñāna-pāramitā to supreme excellence. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 8.256](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.8.256) - [Next: 8.258](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.8.258) - [Up: 8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.8) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799~en-mt.8.257) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.8.257](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1799.8.257) · Pramāṇa
