華嚴經內章門等雜孔目章 3.72

3.72

Regarding the ten terrors: first is the terror of death; second is the terror of the defilement of afflictions; third is the terror of poverty; fourth is the terror of bad karma; fifth is the terror of the evil destinies; sixth is the terror of not obtaining what is sought; seventh is the terror of the sinful karma of slandering the Dharma; eighth is the terror of not maintaining livelihood when bound during pursuit; ninth is the terror of doubt and perplexity; tenth is the terror of the majestic power of the great assembly. These ten terrors are analogous to those relinquished in the prathamā-bhūmi: the five terrors are already severed in the prathamā-bhūmi; here they are raised to demonstrate the correct Dharma of the eighth bhūmi, not to say that the eighth bhūmi actually possesses such terrors. The rest of the doctrine is as in the separate chapter.
