釋氏要覽 1.8

1.8

According to the Avataṃsaka Sūtra, a bodhisattva has ten kinds of knowledge: namely, knowing all establishments, knowing all languages, knowing all discussions, knowing all rules, knowing all designations, knowing all regulations, knowing their conventional designations, knowing their inexhaustibility, knowing their extinction, and knowing that all is empty. Based on this, it is divided into twenty-seven sections. Thus, the sentences and phrases of the Mahāyāna and Hīnayāna sūtras, vinaya, and śāstras, when collated together, are all subsumed within these ten knowledges.
