又大寶積經云。第四精進有十念。一念佛無量功德。二念法不思議解脫。三念僧清淨無染。四念行大慈安立眾生。五念行大悲拔濟眾苦。六念正定聚勸樂修善。七念邪定聚拔令返本。八念諸餓鬼飢渴熱惱。九念諸畜生長受眾苦。十念諸地獄備受燒煮。菩薩如是思惟十念三寶功德。專念不亂。是名正念精進。

Furthermore, the Mahāratnakūṭa-sūtra states: The fourth [perfection], vigor, has ten recollections: first, recollecting the Buddha's immeasurable merit; second, recollecting the Dharma's inconceivable liberation; third, recollecting the Saṃgha's purity and freedom from defilement; fourth, recollecting the practice of great loving-kindness to establish sentient beings; fifth, recollecting the practice of great compassion to rescue beings from all sufferings; sixth, recollecting those of the correctly determined group to encourage them joyfully to cultivate good; seventh, recollecting those of the wrongly determined group to rescue them and make them return to the origin; eighth, recollecting the hunger, thirst, heat, and torment of the hungry ghosts; ninth, recollecting the animals' prolonged endurance of various sufferings; tenth, recollecting the hells' full experience of burning and boiling. When a bodhisattva contemplates the merit of the Three Jewels through these ten recollections with single-minded, undisturbed focus, this is called vigor of right mindfulness.
