大通方廣懺悔滅罪莊嚴成佛經 2.10

2.10

At that time, Ākāśagarbha Bodhisattva said to the Buddha: "We now wish to ask concerning the bodhisattva's causes and conditions for bodhi. If the Buddha would grant permission, we would venture to raise our questions." The Buddha said: "Excellent, excellent! Good son, you have planted roots of goodness under immeasurable hundreds of thousands of Buddhas over countless kalpas, and have long mastered the skillful means practiced by bodhisattvas. For the sake of all bodhisattvas, you ask about the path of firm and steadfast bodhi. Ask whatever questions you resolve upon, and I will analyze and explain them for you."
