Ocean-Like Wisdom Concludes
The eighth ocean-like wisdom watches every buddha's entire career unfold in every world of the ten directions while remaining unattached to any of it, since every buddha is exactly like a dream; the ninth makes offerings across unspeakable kalpas without seeking reward; the tenth seeks nothing at every buddha's side but the dharma of bodhisattvas, closing the full set of ten.
Every Buddha, Exactly Like a Dream
The eighth wisdom follows a buddha's entire career — awakening beneath the bodhi tree, teaching, and passing into parinirvāṇa — across every world of the ten directions, then explains the bodhisattva's freedom from attachment through a single striking reason: every buddha is known to be exactly like a dream. The ninth and tenth wisdoms that follow close the set of ten with offerings made without seeking reward and a search for nothing but the dharma of bodhisattvas.
菩薩摩訶薩入現在世觀察思惟，於念念中普見十方無邊品類不可說世界，皆有諸佛於無上菩提已成、今成、當成，往詣道場菩提樹下，坐吉祥草，降伏魔軍，成阿耨多羅三藐三菩提；從此起已，入於城邑，昇天宮殿，說微妙法，轉大法輪，示現神通，調伏眾生，乃至付囑阿耨多羅三藐三菩提法，捨於壽命，入般涅槃；入涅槃已，結集法藏令久住世，莊嚴佛塔種種供養。亦見彼世界所有眾生，值佛聞法，受持諷誦，憶念思惟，增長慧解。如是觀察普遍十方，而於佛法無有錯謬。何以故？菩薩摩訶薩了知諸佛皆悉如夢，而能往詣一切佛所恭敬供養。菩薩爾時，不著自身、不著諸佛、不著世界、不著眾會、不著說法、不著劫數，然見佛聞法，觀察世界，入諸劫數，無有厭足，是為第八如海智。
"A bodhisattva-mahāsattva enters the present age, observing and reflecting, and within thought after thought universally sees the unspeakably many worlds of every kind throughout the ten directions, in every one of which there are buddhas who have already attained, are now attaining, or will attain unsurpassed awakening — going to the site of awakening beneath the bodhi tree, sitting on auspicious grass, subduing the armies of māra, and attaining unsurpassed, perfect, complete awakening; then rising from this, entering cities and towns, ascending to heavenly palaces, expounding the subtle and wondrous dharma, turning the great dharma wheel, manifesting spiritual powers, taming sentient beings, and finally, having entrusted the dharma of unsurpassed, perfect, complete awakening to others, relinquishing their lifespan and entering parinirvāṇa; and having entered parinirvāṇa, causing the dharma treasury to be compiled and to abide long in the world, adorned with stūpas and every kind of offering. They also see how the sentient beings of that world encounter the buddha and hear the dharma, upholding it, reciting it, reflecting on it, calling it to mind, and growing in wisdom and understanding. Observing in this way, universally throughout the ten directions, and yet never once erring regarding the buddha-dharma. Why is this? Because the bodhisattva-mahāsattva fully understands that every buddha is exactly like a dream, and yet is still able to go to the place of every buddha to revere and make offerings. At such a time, the bodhisattva is not attached to their own self, not attached to any buddha, not attached to any world, not attached to any assembly, not attached to any teaching of dharma, and not attached to any number of kalpas; and yet they still see buddhas and hear the dharma, observe every world, and enter every number of kalpas, never growing weary — this is the eighth ocean-like wisdom.
菩薩摩訶薩於不可說不可說劫一一劫中，供養恭敬不可說不可說無量諸佛，示現自身歿此生彼，以出過三界一切供具而為供養，并及供養菩薩、聲聞、一切大眾；一一如來般涅槃後，皆以無上供具供養舍利，及廣行惠施滿足眾生。佛子！菩薩摩訶薩以不可思議心、不求報心、究竟心、饒益心，於不可說不可說劫，為阿耨多羅三藐三菩提故，供養諸佛，饒益眾生，護持正法，開示演說，是為第九如海智。菩薩摩訶薩於一切佛所、一切菩薩所、一切法師所，一向專求菩薩所說法、菩薩所學法、菩薩所教法、菩薩修行法、菩薩清淨法、菩薩成熟法、菩薩調伏法、菩薩平等法、菩薩出離法、菩薩總持法；得此法已，受持讀誦，分別解說，無有厭足；令無量眾生，於佛法中，發一切智相應心，入真實相，於阿耨多羅三藐三菩提得不退轉。菩薩如是於不可說不可說劫無有厭足，是為第十如海智。佛子！是為菩薩摩訶薩十種入阿耨多羅三藐三菩提如海智。若諸菩薩安住此法，則得一切諸佛無上大智慧海。
A bodhisattva-mahāsattva, within every single one of unspeakably, unspeakably many kalpas, makes offerings to and reveres unspeakably, unspeakably many measureless buddhas, manifesting their own passing away here and being born there, making offerings with every kind of offering that surpasses the three realms, and also making offerings to bodhisattvas, śrāvakas, and every great assembly; and after each and every tathāgata enters parinirvāṇa, makes offerings to their relics with unsurpassed offerings, and widely practices giving to satisfy every sentient being. Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva, with a mind that is inconceivable, a mind that seeks no reward, a mind that is ultimate, and a mind that benefits others, throughout unspeakably, unspeakably many kalpas, for the sake of unsurpassed, perfect, complete awakening, makes offerings to buddhas, benefits sentient beings, upholds and protects the true dharma, and reveals and expounds it — this is the ninth ocean-like wisdom. A bodhisattva-mahāsattva, at the place of every buddha, the place of every bodhisattva, and the place of every dharma-teacher, single-mindedly and exclusively seeks the dharma spoken by bodhisattvas, the dharma studied by bodhisattvas, the dharma taught by bodhisattvas, the dharma practiced by bodhisattvas, the dharma that purifies bodhisattvas, the dharma that ripens bodhisattvas, the dharma that tames bodhisattvas, the dharma of bodhisattva equality, the dharma of bodhisattva liberation, and the dharma of bodhisattva total retention; and having attained this dharma, upholds it, recites it, and explains it in detail, never growing weary; causing measureless sentient beings, within the buddha-dharma, to give rise to a mind in accord with all-knowing wisdom, to enter the true mark of reality, and to attain non-regression in unsurpassed, perfect, complete awakening. A bodhisattva, throughout unspeakably, unspeakably many kalpas, is like this and never grows weary — this is the tenth ocean-like wisdom. Son of the Buddha! These are the bodhisattva-mahāsattva's ten kinds of ocean-like wisdom for entering unsurpassed, perfect, complete awakening. If bodhisattvas abide within this dharma, they attain the unsurpassed, great wisdom-ocean of every buddha.
菩薩摩訶薩了知諸佛皆悉如夢，而能往詣一切佛所恭敬供養 — the bodhisattva-mahāsattva fully understands that every buddha is exactly like a dream, and yet is still able to go to the place of every buddha to revere and make offerings. The eighth ocean-like wisdom pairs these two clauses directly with "而能" (and yet is still able to), making the dream-like unreality of every buddha not an obstacle to devotion but precisely what frees a bodhisattva to keep seeing buddhas and offering worship without ever growing weary.
