The Buddha further said to Mañjuśrī: "Now on these seats there is not a single person with defilement or impurity who is subject to regression. Why is this? They are all of sharp faculties, do not abide in birth-and-death, are without bonds, without attachment, without cessation, and without arising. Having purified their cultivation of the path, they have attained and accomplished realization. They aspire and delight to hear the inconceivable true Dharma of the Buddhas, subjugating all māras and removing pride. Although outwardly teaching and transforming asaṃkhyeyas of sentient beings across the Buddha lands, inwardly their minds sport in immeasurable hundreds of thousands of samādhis. Those samādhis are: the lion-like brisk sprint samādhi; the surpassing practice and ascending levels samādhi; the vast advance and leaping stride samādhi; the youth-like delight in the Dharma samādhi; the arising and ceasing of the four paths samādhi; the practice equal to non-conceptualization samādhi; the proceeding to the non-retrogressing bodhimaṇḍa samādhi; the contemplating the minds of beings samādhi; the mindfulness of the ekajātipratibaddha samādhi; the formless-image samādhi; the welling forth from the earth samādhi; the unbinding from battle samādhi; the crown-receiving of the supreme samādhi; the delight-in-seeing-sentient-beings samādhi; the entering the inconceivable samādhi; the Buddha realm inconceivable samādhi; the Dharma realm defilement-removal inconceivable samādhi; the noble saṃgha inconceivable samādhi; the arising and ceasing of sentient beings inconceivable samādhi; the naga-strength rainfall inconceivable samādhi; the king among the assembly's superiors inconceivable samādhi; the valiantly subjugating foes inconceivable samādhi; the immeasurable lifespan inconceivable samādhi; the being able to endure suffering in the five destinies inconceivable samādhi; the Buddhas present inconceivable samādhi; and the fourfold requisites offering inconceivable samādhi. With one hundred and one thousand such samādhis they adorn their bodies. Furthermore, there is the inconceivable samādhi named 'Swiftness', wherein in a single day one leaves home, practices the path, goes to the foot of the tree, attains Buddhahood, teaches and transforms sentient beings, and purifies the Buddha lands. Furthermore, there is the inconceivable samādhi of 'Remaining to Await Conditions', by condition of which the Tathāgata remains for a lifespan of immeasurable asaṃkhyeya kalpas, delivering sentient beings who have the conditions into the realm of parinirvāṇa without remainder, yet not grasping nirvāṇa, further creating causes and conditions to practice the bodhisattva path. Furthermore, there is the Buddha-power inconceivable samādhi, wherein going from one Buddha land to another Buddha land, in the time it takes a person to clasp hands and snap their fingers, one confers vyākaraṇa upon immeasurable and boundless sentient beings as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, and likewise causes them to attain Buddhahood in a single day. Such is the supernatural power of a bodhisattva abiding in the womb."
