According to the Huayan jing: Disciples of the Buddha, all Buddhas in thought-moment after thought-moment are able to produce ten inexhaustible knowledges. What are the ten? In a single thought-moment they see all worlds, from decease in the Tuṣita heaven; in a single thought-moment they manifest the Bodhisattva's birth in all worlds; in a single thought-moment they manifest the Bodhisattva's going forth in all worlds; in a single thought-moment they proceed to the bodhi-platform under the bodhi tree and realize equal, perfect awakening in all worlds; in a single thought-moment they turn the pure wheel of the Dharma in all worlds; in a single thought-moment they guide and liberate all sentient beings according to their capacities in all worlds; in a single thought-moment they manifest an adorned body according with sentient beings in all worlds; in a single thought-moment they manifest the Tathāgata's sovereign store of omniscience with various and countless adornments in all worlds; in a single thought-moment they manifest pure sentient beings in all worlds; in a single thought-moment, pervading all worlds, they manifest all Buddhas of the three periods of time; in a single thought-moment, for the sake of the various faculties, vigorous strivings, and desires of beings, they reveal the lineage of the Buddhas of the three periods of time, realize equal, perfect awakening, and guide sentient beings. Disciples of the Buddha, these are the ten inexhaustible knowledges produced by all Buddhas in thought-moment after thought-moment.
