佛祖統紀 3.47

3.47

There are three kinds of giving rise to the mind of bodhi: First, the arising of the mind through understanding and practice, which is the five grades. Second, the arising of the mind through resemblance, which is the ten faiths. Third, the arising of the mind through true realization, which is the first abode. Here it is the arising of the mind through true realization; that is, bringing forth the mind of the three causes of the nature of principle, and partially realizing the principle of the three virtues. The *Sijiaoyi* says: 'In the *Huayan*, "at the initial arising of the mind of bodhi, one immediately achieves sambodhi" means bringing forth the true undefiled state, cutting off ignorance, and entering the initial grade.' The *Awakening of Faith* states: 'When a bodhisattva generates this mind, according to the power of their vows they can manifest the eight phases.' The *Miaole* says: 'The clear and luminous texts of the *Huayan* and the *Awakening of Faith*, passages such as the first abode and the eight phases, Samantabhadra, Universal Eye, and the three without differentiation, are all texts of the Perfect.'
