Obtained as Consciousness Takes Hold
Ten gifts are conferred on rising from the fifth concentration, and nine of the ten are about speech. The image for how quickly they arrive is embryology: the instant consciousness takes hold in the womb, with nothing in between.
Ten Dharmas of Consecration
Each is listed in four characters, and the sequence moves outward — from not misspeaking, through fearlessness and honesty, to being what beings rely on and what rescues them.
佛子！彼菩薩摩訶薩從此三昧起，於如來所受十種不可思議灌頂法，亦得、亦清淨、亦成就、亦入、亦證、亦滿、亦持，平等了知三輪清淨。何等為十？一者辯不違義，二者說法無盡，三者訓辭無失，四者樂說不斷，五者心無恐畏，六者語必誠實，七者眾生所依，八者救脫三界，九者善根最勝，十者調御妙法。
Child of the Buddha! When that bodhisattva mahāsattva rises from this samādhi, they receive from the Tathāgata ten inconceivable dharmas of consecration; and these they obtain, purify, accomplish, enter, realize, fulfil and uphold, comprehending with equanimity that the three spheres are pure. What are the ten? First, eloquence that does not go against the meaning. Second, expounding the Dharma inexhaustibly. Third, instructing in words without fault. Fourth, delight in speaking that is never cut off. Fifth, a mind without fear or dread. Sixth, speech that is always truthful. Seventh, being that on which beings rely. Eighth, rescuing and delivering from the three realms. Ninth, wholesome roots most surpassing. Tenth, taming and guiding by the wondrous Dharma.
佛子！此是十種灌頂法。若菩薩入此三昧，從三昧起，無間則得。如歌羅邏入胎藏時，於一念間識則託生；菩薩摩訶薩亦復如是，從此定起，於如來所，一念則得此十種法。佛子！是名菩薩摩訶薩第五知過去莊嚴藏大三昧善巧智。
Child of the Buddha! These are the ten dharmas of consecration. If a bodhisattva enters this samādhi, then on rising from it they obtain them with nothing in between. It is as when the kalala enters the womb: in the space of a single thought, consciousness takes hold of a birth. A bodhisattva mahāsattva is likewise: rising from this concentration, in the presence of the Tathāgata, in a single thought they obtain these ten dharmas. Child of the Buddha! This is the bodhisattva mahāsattva's skillful knowledge in the fifth great samādhi, knowing the treasury of past adornments.
平等了知三輪清淨 — comprehending with equanimity that the three spheres are pure. The three spheres are giver, receiver and gift — here, the Tathāgata who confers, the bodhisattva who receives, and the consecration itself. The formula empties the transaction at the moment it is described, which is why the list that follows can be read without embarrassment.
如歌羅邏入胎藏時 — as when the kalala enters the womb. The kalala is the embryo in its first week, and the image is chosen for its timing, not its biology: there is no interval between conception and the taking hold. 無間則得, obtained with nothing in between, is the whole point of the comparison.
The Buddhas Who Have Not Yet Come
The sixth samādhi looks forward, and the first thing it knows is names — including the names of buddhas whose prophecy has not yet been given.
「佛子！云何為菩薩摩訶薩智光明藏三昧？佛子！彼菩薩摩訶薩住此三昧，能知未來一切世界一切劫中所有諸佛；若已說、若未說，若已授記、若未授記，種種名號各各不同，所謂：無數名、無量名、無邊名、無等名、不可數名、不可稱名、不可思名、不可量名、不可說名；當出現於世，當利益眾生，當作法王，當興佛事，當說福利，當讚善義，當說白分義，當淨治諸惡，當安住功德，當開示第一義諦，當入灌頂位，當成一切智。
"Child of the Buddha! What is the bodhisattva mahāsattva's samādhi of the treasury of wisdom's radiance? Child of the Buddha! That bodhisattva mahāsattva, abiding in this samādhi, can know all the buddhas there are in all the kalpas of all future worlds — those already spoken of and those not yet spoken of, those to whom prophecy has already been given and those to whom it has not — whose many names each differ from the others, namely: numberless names, measureless names, boundless names, names without equal, names that cannot be counted, names that cannot be reckoned, names that cannot be conceived, names that cannot be measured, names that cannot be spoken. They will appear in the world; they will benefit beings; they will be Dharma-kings; they will raise up the buddhas' work; they will expound what brings blessing and benefit; they will praise the meaning of goodness; they will expound the meaning of the bright portion; they will cleanse and cure all evils; they will establish beings in merit; they will open up the truth of ultimate meaning; they will enter the station of consecration; and they will accomplish all-knowing wisdom.
彼諸如來修圓滿行，發圓滿願，入圓滿智，有圓滿眾，備圓滿莊嚴，集圓滿功德，悟圓滿法，得圓滿果，具圓滿相，成圓滿覺。彼諸如來名姓種族、方便善巧、神通變化、成熟眾生、入般涅槃，如是一切皆悉了知。
Those Tathāgatas will cultivate perfect practice, rouse perfect vows, enter perfect wisdom, have a perfect assembly, be furnished with perfect adornment, gather perfect merit, awaken to the perfect Dharma, obtain the perfect fruit, be complete in the perfect marks, and accomplish perfect awakening. The names and families and clans of those Tathāgatas, their skillful means, their spiritual penetrations and transformations, their ripening of beings and their entering parinirvāṇa — all of this is entirely known.
若已授記、若未授記 — those to whom prophecy has already been given and those to whom it has not. A buddha's prophecy is the formal announcement of a future awakening; the samādhi is said to know equally those who have received it and those who have not yet. Whatever else it does, it does not depend on the announcement having been made.
當說白分義 — they will expound the meaning of the bright portion. 白分 is the waxing half of the lunar month and, by transfer, the wholesome side of things. The verb throughout this passage is 當, will — a page written entirely in the future tense, about people who do not exist yet.
Part 505 Complete
This continues chapter twenty-seven, 十定品, The Ten Concentrations, in fascicle forty-one. Part 506 continues the sixth samādhi — the kalpas of the future entered in a single thought, counted in the dust-motes of Jambūdvīpa, of the four continents, of the chiliocosms and of buddha-lands beyond speaking — and the ten gateways of upholding that the mind then enters, from being held in mind by the buddhas to turning the wheel of every written letter.
