The bodhisattva's ten powers derive from the Dàzhìdù lùn. When the mind of practice is firm and indestructible by demonic phenomena, it is called a "power." The meanings of power are not uniform; one approach teaches ten. What are the ten names? First, the power of firm initial resolve, because one seeks omniscience without backsliding. Second, the power of great benevolence, because one is always able never to abandon sentient beings. Third, the power of great compassion, because one transforms sentient beings without seeking gain or sustenance. Fourth, the power of vigor, because one is able through faith to generate all Buddha-dharmas. Fifth, the power of dhyāna-concentration, because although one gives rise to the practice of wisdom and deportment, they are not lost or ruined. [Sixth,] the power of possessing wisdom, because one stays far away from the two extremes, follows the twelve links of dependent origination to cut off all wrong views, and extinguishes proliferation (prapañca). Seventh, the power of not tiring, because one constantly undergoes saṃsāra, teaches and transforms sentient beings, and accumulates all wholesome practices without fatigue or weariness. Eighth, the power of the forbearance of the non-arising of dharmas (anutpattika-dharma-kṣānti), because one observes the real mark of dharmas and knows there is no self. Ninth, the power of liberation, because one enters the three gates of liberation and knows that the two vehicles attain liberation. Tenth, the power of unimpeded cognitive power, because one is sovereign regarding dharmas and knows the directions toward which the minds of sentient beings incline. Furthermore, within the Avataṃsaka Sūtra another ten powers are taught, which have similarities and differences compared with the preceding ten. What are the ten names? First, the power of straightforward mind, because one has no defiled attachment to any world. Second, the power of deep mind, because one does not ruin any Buddha-dharma. Third, the power of skillful means, because one brings all bodhisattva practices to ultimate completion. Fourth, the power of wisdom, because one knows the minds of sentient beings. Fifth, the power of vows, because one brings the vows of all sentient beings to fulfillment. Sixth, the power of practice, because one does not break it off through the end of future time. Seventh, the power of the vehicles, because one brings forth and universally manifests all vehicles. Eighth, the power of supernormal faculties, because on a single hair's path one manifests all pure realms and the appearance in the world of all Tathāgatas. Ninth, the power of bodhi, because one awakens to bodhi as being equal to the mental thoughts of all sentient beings. Tenth, the power of turning the wheel of Dharma, because one analyzes and expounds upon a single phrase of Dharma according with the aspirations and various faculties of all sentient beings. Among these ten kinds: the first, the power of straightforward mind, is the power of possessing wisdom and the power of the forbearance of non-arising among the preceding ten; the second, deep mind, is the power of vigor among the preceding ten; the third, skillful means, and the sixth, the power of practice, are the power of not tiring among the preceding ten; the fourth, the power of wisdom, and the tenth, the power of turning the wheel of Dharma, are the power of unimpeded cognitive power among the preceding ten; the fifth, the power of vows, is the power of the initial resolve among the preceding ten; the seventh, the power of the vehicles, is the power of liberation among the preceding ten, because one knows the dharmas of liberation of the three vehicles. Among the latter ten kinds, the power of supernormal faculties and the power of bodhi are not discussed in the former ten; among the former ten kinds, the powers of benevolence, compassion, and concentration are not stated in the latter ten. Furthermore, within the Śūraṅgama Sūtra another ten powers are taught: First, the power of the mind of bodhi (bodhicitta), firmly guarding it without losing it. Second, the power of attaining deep faith in the inconceivable Buddha-dharma, deeply believing without doubt. Third, the power of attaining non-forgetfulness regarding extensive learning, firmly holding it without losing it. Fourth, the power of attaining indefatigability in coming and going in saṃsāra, constantly able to dwell within it. Fifth, the power of attaining great compassion toward sentient beings, constantly able to gather and transform them. Sixth, the power of attaining firm renunciation regarding giving, constantly giving without cessation. Seventh, the power of attaining indestructibility regarding maintaining precepts, firmly holding them without violation. Eighth, the power of attaining firm endurance regarding patience, constantly able to bear and endure. Ninth, the power of attaining wisdom that cannot be destroyed by Māra, not being moved by Māra. Tenth, the power of attaining faithful joy regarding the profound dharmas, joyfully seeking them without satiety. These ten kinds have similarities and differences compared with the ten powers taught in the Dàzhìdù lùn. The first, the power of the mind of bodhi, is its first power of initial resolve. The second, deep faith, is its fourth power of vigor, being able through faith to generate the dharmas of the Buddhas. The fourth, indefatigability, is its seventh power of not tiring. The fifth, attaining great benevolence [and compassion] toward sentient beings, is its second power of great benevolence and its third heading, the power of great compassion. The ninth, attaining the power of wisdom over Māra, is its sixth power of possessing wisdom and its tenth heading, the power of unimpeded cognitive power. The tenth, attaining faithful joy in the profound dharmas, is its eighth power of the forbearance of non-arising and its ninth heading, the power of liberation. Here, the powers of extensive learning, giving, maintaining precepts, and patience are not discussed therein; the power of concentration therein is not stated here. Such are the ten powers.
