2.77
The seven treasures are: faith, generosity, morality, learning, wisdom, shame, and remorse. Supplying resources to achieve Buddhahood is the meaning of "treasure"; this is the Triyāna meaning. If they serve as the designation for the Ekayāna, they enter the Ekayāna teaching. If based on the gate of the distinct teaching, the meaning of treasure is inexhaustible. Therefore, the subsequent text of the sūtra states that the guardian spirit of the bodhimaṇḍa pointed to his jewel treasury and let Sudhana take from it at will, which, by realizing and matching the higher stages, clarifies the meaning of wealth and resources. The rest is as in the separate chapter.
