2.23

十住義者，十者數，住者不退，即成住之位。亦云十解：一發心住、二持地住、三修行住、四生貴住、五方便具足住、六正心住、七不退住、八童真住、九法王子住、十灌頂住，不動故名住。體者，無量方便三昧為體，此順三乘終教說，本即是一乘，初教則無定，愚法小乘及初迴心即不說十住，宜可準知。

Regarding the meaning of the ten abodes: 'ten' is a number; 'abode' is non-retrogression, which is the stage of accomplishing abiding. They are also called the ten understandings: first, the abode of generating the aspiration [for enlightenment]; second, the abode of maintaining the ground; third, the abode of cultivation; fourth, the abode of noble birth; fifth, the abode of fulfillment of skillful means; sixth, the abode of the correct mind; seventh, the abode of non-retrogression; eighth, the abode of the innocent youth; ninth, the abode of the prince of the Dharma; tenth, the abode of consecration. Because they are unshakeable, they are called 'abodes'. As for their essence, immeasurable samādhis of skillful means serve as the essence. This is spoken in accordance with the final teaching of the Triyāna; originally it is the Ekayāna. In the initial teaching there is no fixed [system]. The Hīnayāna of those ignorant of phenomena and those who have just redirected their minds do not teach the ten abodes, as should be understood accordingly.
