The Mañjuśrīparipṛcchā-bodhicitta-śāstra states: There are ten kinds of arousal. First is bodily arousal, because of desiring to make the bodily karma of sentient beings pure. Second is verbal arousal, because of desiring to make the verbal karma of sentient beings pure. Third is mental arousal, because of desiring to make the mental karma of sentient beings pure (the commentary on the treatise states: it is arousing great vigor in order to be far removed from all evil actions of bodily, verbal, and mental karma). Fourth is internal arousal, because of not falsely conceptualizing any sentient beings (the treatise states: because of transforming all sentient beings and causing them to train in those places; 'not falsely conceptualizing' means not clinging to dharmas). Fifth is external arousal, because of practicing equanimity toward all sentient beings (the treatise states: because of being far removed from attachment and aversion). Sixth is arousal of wisdom, because of being endowed with the purity of the Buddha's wisdom (the treatise states: because of teaching and transforming all sentient beings with equanimity). Seventh is the arousal of purifying lands, because of showing the adornment of the qualities of all Buddha-lands (the treatise states: because of knowing the mind in accordance with reality, one then speaks the Dharma accordingly). [Eighth and ninth omitted in text.] Tenth is the arousal of the mind perfected in unconditioned wisdom, because of not clinging to the three realms (the treatise states: because of realizing the true Dharma, not being in the three realms, and also because of being free from false dharmas).
