Adornment, Unmoving Minds, and Vast Minds Never Abandoned
Ten kinds of adornment reach a striking claim — a single land made from the collapse of every land into one — before eleven named kinds of faith anchor a single unmoving mind, and ten profound, vast minds are each declared, one by one, never to be abandoned, from fulfilling a buddha's own awakening to gathering every dharma of every buddha.
Eleven Kinds of Faith in a Single Unmoving Mind
The tenth adornment folds every land into one, and the seventh unmoving mind reaches, on its own, across unspeakably many kalpas for as many lifetimes as there are sentient beings; the eighth then pauses to name eleven distinct qualities of faith all at once, before the final list closes on ten vast minds, each one stated only in the negative — never abandoned — as if the strongest way to describe commitment is to describe its absence and then deny it.
「佛子！菩薩摩訶薩有十種莊嚴。何等為十？所謂：力莊嚴，不可壞故；無畏莊嚴，無能伏故；義莊嚴，說不可說義無窮盡故；法莊嚴，八萬四千法聚觀察演說無忘失故；願莊嚴，一切菩薩所發弘誓無退轉故；行莊嚴，修普賢行而出離故；剎莊嚴，以一切剎作一剎故；普音莊嚴，周遍一切諸佛世界雨法雨故；力持莊嚴，於一切劫行無數行不斷絕故；變化莊嚴，於一眾生身示現一切眾生數等身，令一切眾生悉得知見，求一切智無退轉故。是為十。若諸菩薩安住此法，則得如來一切無上法莊嚴。
"Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten kinds of adornment. What are these ten? Namely: the adornment of power, because it cannot be destroyed; the adornment of fearlessness, because nothing can subdue it; the adornment of meaning, because it expounds unspeakable meaning without ever being exhausted; the adornment of dharma, because it observes and expounds the eighty-four thousand collections of dharma without ever forgetting them; the adornment of vow, because every great vow given rise to by any bodhisattva never regresses; the adornment of practice, because it cultivates Samantabhadra's own practice and transcends through it; the adornment of lands, because it makes every land into a single land; the adornment of the universal voice, because it pervades every buddha's world, raining down the rain of dharma; the adornment of sustaining power, because it carries out countless practices throughout every kalpa without ever ceasing; and the adornment of transformation, because it manifests, within the body of a single sentient being, bodies equal in number to every sentient being, causing every sentient being to see and know it, seeking all-knowing wisdom without ever regressing. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas abide in this dharma, they attain every one of the tathāgata's own unsurpassed adornments of dharma.
「佛子！菩薩摩訶薩發十種不動心。何等為十？所謂：於一切所有悉皆能捨不動心；思惟觀察一切佛法不動心；憶念供養一切諸佛不動心；於一切眾生誓無惱害不動心；普攝眾生不揀怨親不動心；求一切佛法無有休息不動心；一切眾生數等不可說不可說劫，行菩薩行不生疲厭亦無退轉不動心；成就有根信、無濁信、清淨信、極清淨信、離垢信、明徹信、恭敬供養一切佛信、不退轉信、不可盡信、無能壞信、大歡喜踊躍信不動心；成就出生一切智方便道不動心；聞一切菩薩行法信受不謗不動心。是為十。若諸菩薩安住此法，則得無上一切智不動心。「佛子！菩薩摩訶薩有十種不捨深大心。何等為十？所謂：不捨成滿一切佛菩提深大心；不捨教化調伏一切眾生深大心；不捨不斷一切諸佛種性深大心；不捨親近一切善知識深大心；不捨供養一切諸佛深大心；不捨專求一切大乘功德法深大心；不捨於一切佛所修行梵行、護持淨戒深大心；不捨親近一切菩薩深大心；不捨求一切佛法方便護持深大心；不捨滿一切菩薩行願、集一切諸佛法深大心。是為十。若諸菩薩安住其中，則能不捨一切佛法。
Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva gives rise to ten unmoving minds. What are these ten? Namely: an unmoving mind able to give up everything they possess entirely; an unmoving mind that reflects on and observes every dharma of the Buddha; an unmoving mind that recalls and makes offerings to every buddha; an unmoving mind that vows never to trouble or harm any sentient being; an unmoving mind that universally gathers in sentient beings without distinguishing enemy from friend; an unmoving mind that seeks every dharma of the Buddha without ever resting; an unmoving mind that carries out bodhisattva practice for as many unspeakably, unspeakably many kalpas as there are sentient beings, never growing weary and never regressing; an unmoving mind accomplished in rooted faith, undefiled faith, pure faith, utterly pure faith, faith free of stain, penetrating faith, faith that reveres and makes offerings to every buddha, non-regressing faith, inexhaustible faith, indestructible faith, and faith of great joy and exultation; an unmoving mind accomplished in the path of skillful means that gives rise to all-knowing wisdom; and an unmoving mind that, upon hearing the dharma of every bodhisattva practice, believes and receives it without ever slandering it. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas abide in this dharma, they attain the unsurpassed, unmoving mind of all-knowing wisdom. Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten profound, vast minds that are never abandoned. What are these ten? Namely: the profound, vast mind of fulfilling every buddha's own awakening, never abandoned; the profound, vast mind of teaching and taming every sentient being, never abandoned; the profound, vast mind of never cutting off the lineage of any buddha, never abandoned; the profound, vast mind of drawing near to every good spiritual friend, never abandoned; the profound, vast mind of making offerings to every buddha, never abandoned; the profound, vast mind of single-mindedly seeking every meritorious dharma of the Great Vehicle, never abandoned; the profound, vast mind of cultivating pure conduct and upholding pure precepts in the presence of every buddha, never abandoned; the profound, vast mind of drawing near to every bodhisattva, never abandoned; the profound, vast mind of seeking and, through skillful means, protecting every dharma of the Buddha, never abandoned; and the profound, vast mind of fulfilling every bodhisattva practice and vow, and gathering every dharma of every buddha, never abandoned. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas abide within these, they are able never to abandon any dharma of the Buddha.
剎莊嚴，以一切剎作一剎故 — the adornment of lands, because it makes every land into a single land. Set among adornments of power and fearlessness that describe qualities a bodhisattva has, this entry describes something a bodhisattva does to the very structure of the cosmos — collapsing every land into one — treating that collapse itself as an ornament, a kind of beauty rather than merely a display of scale.
