瑜伽論記 11.299

11.299

授記有六，景云：一者、安住種姓未發心位者即十信已前有大乘種姓佛與授記；二者、已發心位者從十信已去乃至法雲皆名發心位佛與授記，此之一對則攝一切諸授記盡；三、現前位者面對佛前親蒙授記；四者、不現前住謂不求在眾佛總與記。此第二對亦攝一切，一切授記不過現前及不現前，亦可入地菩薩念念見真報佛授記名現前，地前但見他佛不見真身名不現前；五者、有定時限謂爾所時當證菩提；六、無定時限但總記言汝行此行當得作佛，此後一對亦攝一切。

Prophecy has six types. Jing says: '1. The stage of abiding in the lineage without yet generating the mind [for awakening]: this refers to prior to the ten faiths, where having the Mahāyāna lineage, the Buddha confers prophecy on them; 2. The stage of having generated the mind: from the ten faiths onward up to the Dharma Cloud [ground], all are called the stage of mind-generation, where the Buddha confers prophecy on them—this single pair subsumes all prophecies exhaustively; 3. The present stage: directly facing the Buddha and personally receiving the prophecy; 4. Abiding not present: this means without seeking it in the assembly, the Buddha confers prophecy collectively. This second pair also subsumes all, for all prophecies do not exceed the present and the non-present; alternatively, bodhisattvas who have entered the grounds see the true reward-Buddha in every thought-moment and receive prophecy, which is called present, whereas prior to the grounds, they only see other Buddhas and do not see the true body, which is called not present; 5. Having a definite time limit: meaning that in such-and-such a time one will realize awakening; 6. Having no definite time limit: merely conferring prophecy in general, saying: "By practicing this conduct, you will attain buddhahood." This final pair also subsumes all.'
