A Mind Unmoving, Like the King of Mountains
Ten dharmas make a bodhisattva's practice pure — generosity, patience, a mind like a mountain, a body like a bridge — and ten further dharmas follow once that purity is attained, from a buddha's own protection to a wisdom born of seeing dharmas exactly as they are.
The Ten Dharmas of Pure Practice
「佛子！有十種法，令諸菩薩所行清淨。何等為十？一者，悉捨資財，滿眾生意；二者，持戒清淨，無所毀犯；三者，柔和忍辱，無有窮盡；四者，勤修諸行，永不退轉；五者，以正念力，心無迷亂；六者，分別了知無量諸法；七者，修一切行而無所著；八者，其心不動，猶如山王；九者，廣度眾生，猶如橋梁；十者，知一切眾生與諸如來同一體性。佛子！是為十法，令諸菩薩所行清淨。」
"Son of the Buddha! There are ten kinds of dharma that make a bodhisattva's own practice pure. What are the ten? First, giving up every resource and possession entirely, fulfilling living beings' own wishes. Second, upholding the precepts purely, without any violation at all. Third, gentleness and patient forbearance, without exhaustion or limit. Fourth, diligently cultivating every practice, never turning back. Fifth, through the power of right mindfulness, a mind without confusion or disorder. Sixth, discriminating and understanding immeasurable dharmas. Seventh, cultivating every practice while clinging to none of it. Eighth, a mind unmoving, just like the king of mountains. Ninth, broadly crossing living beings over, just like a bridge. Tenth, knowing that every living being shares one and the same essential nature with every Tathāgata. Son of the Buddha, these are the ten dharmas that make a bodhisattva's own practice pure."
Ten Increasingly Supreme Dharmas
「菩薩既得行清淨已，復獲十種增勝法。何等為十？一者，他方諸佛，皆悉護念；二者，善根增勝，超諸等列；三者，善能領受佛加持力；四者，常得善人，為所依怙；五者，安住精進，恒不放逸；六者，知一切法平等無異；七者，心恒安住無上大悲；八者，如實觀法，出生妙慧；九者，能善修行巧妙方便；十者，能知如來方便之力。佛子！是為菩薩十種增勝法。」
"Once the bodhisattva has attained purity of practice, they, moreover, obtain ten kinds of increasingly supreme dharma. What are the ten? First, every buddha of other regions holds them in mind and guards them. Second, their wholesome roots become increasingly supreme, surpassing every one of their peers. Third, they are skillfully able to receive the Buddha's own empowering grace. Fourth, they forever obtain good people to serve as their own support and refuge. Fifth, abiding settled in diligence, they are forever without negligence. Sixth, they know that every dharma is equal, without any distinction. Seventh, their mind forever abides settled in an unsurpassed great compassion. Eighth, contemplating dharmas exactly as they truly are, they bring forth a wondrous wisdom. Ninth, they are able to skillfully cultivate and practice clever and wondrous skillful means. Tenth, they are able to know the very power of the Tathāgata's own skillful means. Son of the Buddha, these are the bodhisattva's ten kinds of increasingly supreme dharma."
Two similes anchor the first list — a mind unmoving "like the king of mountains" (山王, likely Mount Sumeru), and a bodhisattva who broadly crosses beings over "like a bridge" (橋梁). The pairing is deliberate: immovable in themselves, yet the very means by which others cross from one shore to another. The second list then makes explicit what the chapter has implied throughout — that this purity is not an end point but a threshold, opening onto empowerment, protection, and a wisdom born of seeing dharmas exactly as they are.
