Ten Kinds of Hidden Treasury, Ten Kinds of Discipline
Ten kinds of hidden treasury locate the treasury not in any place but in every dharma itself — a treasury of right reflection, of eloquence, of skillfully understanding that even a kalpa abides like an illusion; ten kinds of discipline then follow, moving from an unbreakable faith toward every buddha to the plain, active work of subduing every māra.
The Treasury Is the Dharma Itself
Every one of the ten hidden treasuries names something already discussed at length elsewhere in this chapter — right reflection, dhāraṇī, eloquence, seeing buddhas, joy and faith — and simply calls it a treasury, hidden in plain sight within the dharma rather than buried anywhere else; the ten kinds of discipline that follow shift from this inward description to outward conduct, closing on the active work of subduing every māra.
佛子！菩薩摩訶薩有十種伏藏。何等為十？所謂：知一切法是起功德行藏；知一切法是正思惟藏；知一切法是陀羅尼照明藏；知一切法是辯才開演藏；知一切法是不可說善覺真實藏；知一切佛自在神通是觀察示現藏；知一切法是善巧出生平等藏；知一切法是常見一切諸佛藏；知一切不思議劫是善了皆如幻住藏；知一切諸佛菩薩是發生歡喜淨信藏。是為十。若諸菩薩安住此法，則得一切諸佛無上智慧法藏，悉能調伏一切眾生。
"Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten kinds of hidden treasury. What are these ten? Namely: knowing that every dharma is a treasury for arousing meritorious practice; knowing that every dharma is a treasury of right reflection; knowing that every dharma is a treasury of dhāraṇī's illumination; knowing that every dharma is a treasury for eloquent exposition; knowing that every dharma is an unspeakable treasury of true, wholesome awakening; knowing that every buddha's own sovereign spiritual power is a treasury of observation and manifestation; knowing that every dharma is a treasury that skillfully brings forth equality; knowing that every dharma is a treasury for constantly seeing every buddha; knowing that every inconceivable kalpa is a treasury of skillfully understanding that all abides exactly like an illusion; and knowing that every buddha and bodhisattva is a treasury for giving rise to joy and pure faith. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas abide within this dharma, they attain the unsurpassed, great treasury of wisdom-dharma of every buddha, and are able to tame every sentient being.
「佛子！菩薩摩訶薩有十種律儀。何等為十？所謂：於一切佛法不生誹謗律儀；於一切佛所信樂心不可壞律儀；於一切菩薩所起尊重恭敬律儀；於一切善知識所終不捨愛樂心律儀；於一切聲聞、獨覺不生憶念心律儀；遠離一切退菩薩道律儀；不起一切損害眾生心律儀；修一切善根皆令究竟律儀；於一切魔悉能降伏律儀；於一切波羅蜜皆令滿足律儀。是為十。若諸菩薩安住此法，則得無上大智律儀。
Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten kinds of discipline. What are these ten? Namely: the discipline of never slandering any buddha-dharma; the discipline of an unbreakable mind of joyful faith toward every buddha; the discipline of giving rise to reverence and respect toward every bodhisattva; the discipline of never abandoning a mind of loving delight toward every good spiritual friend; the discipline of never giving rise to a mind that dwells on becoming a śrāvaka or a solitary awakened one; the discipline of staying far from anything that would cause regression from the bodhisattva path; the discipline of never giving rise to a mind that would harm any sentient being; the discipline of cultivating every root of goodness to its ultimate completion; the discipline of being able to subdue every māra; and the discipline of bringing every pāramitā to complete fulfillment. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas abide within this dharma, they attain the unsurpassed, great discipline of wisdom.
知一切不思議劫是善了皆如幻住藏 — knowing that every inconceivable kalpa is a treasury of skillfully understanding that all abides exactly like an illusion. Time itself becomes a treasury here, not because kalpas contain anything hidden, but because grasping their illusion-like nature is itself the wealth a bodhisattva draws from contemplating them.
