What is meant by a bodhisattva who has no dread and whose deportment is unswerving? What is meant by a bodhisattva who accomplishes wholesome dharmas? What is meant by a bodhisattva who skillfully understands [how to advance] from the first ground to the tenth ground? What is meant by a bodhisattva who skillfully knows expedients? What is meant by a bodhisattva who skillfully transforms sentient beings? What is meant by a bodhisattva who, life after life, does not lose the mind of bodhi? What is meant by a bodhisattva who can possess single-mindedness without mixed practices? What is meant by a bodhisattva who skillfully seeks the Dharma-jewel? What is meant by a bodhisattva who skillfully transcends the sins of violating the prohibitions and breaking the vinaya? What is meant by a bodhisattva who can obstruct afflictions? What is meant by a bodhisattva who can skillfully adapt and enter all assemblies? What is meant by a bodhisattva who skillfully opens Dharma-gates? What is meant by a bodhisattva who obtains the power of past causes and does not lose roots of goodness? What is meant by a bodhisattva who, without needing instruction from others, can personally practice the six pāramitās? What is meant by a bodhisattva who can renounce dhyāna-concentration to manifest birth in the desire realm? What is meant by a bodhisattva who attains non-retrogression in all Buddha-dharmas? What is meant by a bodhisattva who courses in the three realms, teaching and transforming sentient beings so as to increase their roots of goodness without severing their buddhadhātu?"
