Unobstructed Abiding, and Supreme Adornments Begin
A tenth list of unobstructed states — going, abiding, sitting, teaching, all without hindrance — closes, and a new and much longer list opens: ten supreme, unsurpassed adornments, each numbered and named individually rather than repeated in a single refrain. The first four cover a buddha's body, voice, mind, and light.
Ten Kinds of Unobstructed Abiding
This list of ten covers everything from traveling and sitting to teaching the dharma and abiding in the Tuṣita palace — each one, without exception, unobstructed.
「佛子！諸佛世尊有十種無障礙住。何等為十？所謂：一切諸佛皆能往一切世界無障礙住；一切諸佛皆能住一切世界無障礙住；一切諸佛皆能於一切世界行、住、坐、臥無障礙住；一切諸佛皆能於一切世界演說正法無障礙住；一切諸佛皆能於一切世界住兜率天宮無障礙住；一切諸佛皆能入法界一切三世無障礙住；一切諸佛皆能坐法界一切道場無障礙住；一切諸佛皆能念念觀一切眾生心行以三種自在教化調伏無障礙住；一切諸佛皆能以一身住無量不思議佛所及一切處利益眾生無障礙住；一切諸佛皆能開示無量諸佛所說正法無障礙住。是為十。
"Sons of the Buddha! The buddhas, the World-Honored Ones, have ten kinds of unobstructed abiding. What are these ten? They are: every buddha is able to go to every world in unobstructed abiding; every buddha is able to abide in every world in unobstructed abiding; every buddha is able to walk, stand, sit, and lie down in every world in unobstructed abiding; every buddha is able to expound the true dharma in every world in unobstructed abiding; every buddha is able to abide in the Tuṣita heaven's palace within every world in unobstructed abiding; every buddha is able to enter every one of the three times within the dharma-realm in unobstructed abiding; every buddha is able to sit at every bodhimaṇḍa within the dharma-realm in unobstructed abiding; every buddha is able, in thought after thought, to observe the mental conduct of every sentient being and to teach and tame them through three kinds of mastery, in unobstructed abiding; every buddha is able, with a single body, to abide at measureless, inconceivable buddha-places and every other place at once, benefiting sentient beings, in unobstructed abiding; and every buddha is able to disclose the true dharma spoken by measureless buddhas, in unobstructed abiding. These are the ten.
Ten Supreme Adornments Begin
A new list opens with a different shape: instead of one refrain repeated ten times, each of these ten adornments is announced separately by number — body, speech, mind, and light are the first four.
「佛子！諸佛世尊有十種最勝無上莊嚴。何等為十？一切諸佛皆悉具足諸相隨好，是為諸佛第一最勝無上身莊嚴。一切諸佛皆悉具足六十種音，一一音有五百分，一一分無量百千清淨之音以為嚴好，能於法界一切眾中無諸恐怖，大師子吼演說如來甚深法義，眾生聞者靡不歡喜，隨其根欲悉得調伏，是為諸佛第二最勝無上語莊嚴。
"Sons of the Buddha! The buddhas, the World-Honored Ones, have ten kinds of supreme, unsurpassed adornment. What are these ten? Every buddha is entirely endowed with every mark and excellent characteristic — this is the buddhas' first supreme, unsurpassed adornment, the adornment of the body. Every buddha is entirely endowed with sixty kinds of voice, each voice having five hundred parts, each part adorned with measureless hundreds of thousands of pure sounds; able, amid every assembly in the dharma-realm, to be free of every fear, roaring the great lion's roar to expound the tathāgata's profound meaning of the dharma, so that among sentient beings who hear it, none fail to rejoice, and all are tamed according to their own faculties and desires — this is the buddhas' second supreme, unsurpassed adornment, the adornment of speech.
一切諸佛皆具十力、諸大三昧、十八不共莊嚴意業，所行境界通達無礙，一切佛法咸得無餘，法界莊嚴而為莊嚴，法界眾生心之所行，去、來、現在各各差別，於一念中悉能明見，是為諸佛第三最勝無上意莊嚴。一切諸佛皆悉能放無數光明，一一光明有不可說光明網以為眷屬，普照一切諸佛國土，滅除一切世間黑闇，示現無量諸佛出興，其身平等悉皆清淨，所作佛事咸不唐捐，能令眾生至不退轉，是為諸佛第四最勝無上光明莊嚴。
Every buddha is entirely endowed with the ten powers, the great samādhis, and the eighteen unshared qualities, adorning their mental action; the sphere in which they act is penetrated without obstruction, and every buddha-dharma is attained entirely without remainder; the dharma-realm's own adornment becomes their adornment; and the mental conduct of every sentient being in the dharma-realm, past, future, and present, each with its own distinctions, is entirely and clearly seen within a single thought-moment — this is the buddhas' third supreme, unsurpassed adornment, the adornment of mind. Every buddha is entirely able to emit countless lights, each light having an unspeakable net of light as its retinue, universally illuminating every buddha's land, extinguishing every world's darkness of ignorance, manifesting the arising of measureless buddhas whose bodies are equally and entirely pure, so that the buddha-work carried out is never wasted and sentient beings are caused to reach the stage of never turning back — this is the buddhas' fourth supreme, unsurpassed adornment, the adornment of light.
Unlike most lists in this chapter, each item here is separately labeled — the buddhas' first, second, third, fourth adornment — rather than repeated under a single opening refrain. It reads less like an inventory recited from memory and more like a formal roll call, each entry closing its own case before the next opens.
Part 587 Complete
This continues chapter thirty-three, 佛不思議法品, in fascicle forty-six. Part 588 completes the ten supreme adornments, from the buddhas' smile to their great compassion.
