1.51

Seventh, the assembly expressing the Dharma: such as the various bodhisattvas named 'Chief' expressing the teachings on faith, because faith is the chief of practices; the various bodhisattvas named 'Wisdom' expressing the teachings of the ten understandings, because wisdom can understand; the various 'Forest' bodhisattvas expressing the practices; the various 'Banner' bodhisattvas expressing the dedications; the various 'Treasury' bodhisattvas expressing the grounds. Bodhisattvas of such kinds are all used to represent the Dharma of the ranks of practice, numbering either as atoms of ten lands, or ineffable, and so on; the rest should be understood accordingly.
