華嚴經內章門等雜孔目章 3.70

3.70

Regarding the ten masteries: first is mastery over life, because one sustains life for ineffable, ineffable kalpas. Second is mastery over mind, because of the cognition entering into immeasurable asaṃkhyeya samādhis. Third is mastery in obtaining material goods, because of sustaining and manifesting immeasurable adornments throughout all worlds. Fourth is mastery in obtaining karma, because of sustaining and manifesting karmic fruition as in present, future, and subsequent lives. Fifth is mastery in obtaining birth, because of manifesting birth in all worlds. Sixth is mastery in obtaining vows, because of manifesting the realization of saṃbodhi in whichever buddha-land and at whatever time one's mind desires. Seventh is mastery in obtaining resolute faith, because of manifesting the filling of all worlds with buddhas. Eighth is mastery in obtaining supernatural power, because of manifesting acts of transformation according to wish in all buddha-lands. Ninth is mastery in obtaining Dharma, because of clearly manifesting boundless and centerless Dharma-gates. Tenth is mastery in obtaining cognition, because of manifesting saṃbodhi adorned with the Tathāgata's powers, fearlessnesses, unshared dharmas, and marks and signs. This doctrine resides in the fruitional virtues, provisionally showing the meaning of mastery in the eighth bhūmi. This doctrine is shared with the Triyāna, but is only definitive in the Ekayāna. Why is this? Because mastery is boundless. The rest of the doctrine is as in the separate chapter.
