Unobstructed Function Toward Wisdom and Spiritual Penetration
Unobstructed function toward wisdom moves from inexhaustible eloquence to a striking medical image: knowing every sentient being's desires, latent tendencies, habitual imprints, and afflictive illnesses well enough to administer the fitting remedy to each. The unobstructed function of spiritual penetration that follows scales from a single mote of dust giving rise to a vast buddha-land to guarding every being across every realm at once.
Diagnosing Every Affliction
The unobstructed function toward wisdom names one entry in explicitly medical terms — desires, latent tendencies, habitual imprints, and afflictive illnesses, each met with its fitting remedy — treating a bodhisattva's wisdom less like abstract knowledge and more like a diagnosis tailored to every single patient; the unobstructed function of spiritual penetration that follows then applies a similar precision to space itself, from a single mote of dust to the guardianship of every kind of being across every realm.
佛子！菩薩摩訶薩有十種智無礙用。何等為十？所謂：無盡辯才無礙用；一切總持無有忘失無礙用；能決定知、決定說一切眾生諸根無礙用；於一念中以無礙智知一切眾生心之所行無礙用；知一切眾生欲樂、隨眠、習氣、煩惱病，隨應授藥無礙用；一念能入如來十力無礙用；以無礙智知三世一切劫及其中眾生無礙用；於念念中現成正覺示現眾生無有斷絕無礙用；於一眾生想知一切眾生業無礙用；於一眾生音解一切眾生語無礙用。是為十。
"Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten kinds of unobstructed function toward wisdom. What are these ten? Namely: the unobstructed function of inexhaustible eloquence; the unobstructed function of every dhāraṇī, never once forgotten; the unobstructed function of being able to definitively know and definitively speak of every sentient being's own faculties; the unobstructed function of knowing, within a single thought, through unobstructed wisdom, exactly what every sentient being's mind is doing; the unobstructed function of knowing every sentient being's desires and delights, latent tendencies, habitual imprints, and afflictive illnesses, and administering the fitting remedy accordingly; the unobstructed function of being able, within a single thought, to enter the tathāgata's own ten powers; the unobstructed function of knowing, through unobstructed wisdom, every kalpa of the three times and every sentient being within them; the unobstructed function of manifesting the attainment of right awakening within thought after thought, manifesting it for sentient beings without any interruption; the unobstructed function of knowing every sentient being's karma through the conception of a single sentient being; and the unobstructed function of understanding every sentient being's language through the voice of a single sentient being. These are the ten.
「佛子！菩薩摩訶薩有十種神通無礙用。何等為十？所謂：於一身示現一切世界身無礙用；於一佛眾會聽受一切佛眾會中所說法無礙用；於一眾生心念中成就不可說無上菩提開悟一切眾生心無礙用；以一音現一切世界差別言音，令諸眾生各得解了無礙用；一念中現盡前際一切劫所有業果種種差別，令諸眾生悉得知見無礙用；一微塵出現廣大佛剎無量莊嚴無礙用；令一切世界具足莊嚴無礙用；普入一切三世無礙用；放大法光明現一切諸佛菩提、眾生行願無礙用；善守護一切天、龍、夜叉、乾闥婆、阿脩羅、迦樓羅、緊那羅、摩睺羅伽、釋、梵、護世、聲聞、獨覺、菩薩、所有如來十力、菩薩善根無礙用。是為十。若諸菩薩得此無礙用，則能普入一切佛法。
Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten kinds of unobstructed function of spiritual penetration. What are these ten? Namely: the unobstructed function of manifesting the bodies of every world within a single body; the unobstructed function of hearing and receiving, within a single buddha's assembly, the dharma spoken within every buddha's assembly; the unobstructed function of accomplishing unspeakably many unsurpassed awakenings within a single sentient being's own thought, and awakening the minds of every sentient being; the unobstructed function of manifesting, through a single voice, the distinct speech of every world, causing every sentient being to understand it; the unobstructed function of manifesting, within a single thought, every manner of distinct karmic fruit throughout every kalpa of the entire past, causing every sentient being to know and see it fully; the unobstructed function of a single mote of dust giving rise to the measureless adornments of a vast buddha-land; the unobstructed function of causing every world to be fully adorned; the unobstructed function of universally entering every one of the three times; the unobstructed function of emitting a great light of dharma that manifests every buddha's own awakening and every sentient being's practice and vow; and the unobstructed function of skillfully guarding every deva, nāga, yakṣa, gandharva, asura, garuḍa, kiṃnara, mahoraga, Śakra, Brahmā, and guardian of the world, every śrāvaka, solitary awakened one, and bodhisattva, and every tathāgata's own ten powers and every bodhisattva's roots of goodness. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas attain this unobstructed function, they are able to universally enter every buddha-dharma.
知一切眾生欲樂、隨眠、習氣、煩惱病，隨應授藥 — knowing every sentient being's desires and delights, latent tendencies, habitual imprints, and afflictive illnesses, and administering the fitting remedy accordingly. Calling affliction a "病" (illness) here is not incidental — the same entry then speaks of "授藥" (administering medicine), carrying the medical frame all the way through to the response, so that wisdom's function is diagnosis and treatment rather than abstract insight alone.
