Ten Kinds of Adorned Path Conclude
The ninth adorned path names a bodhisattva who has already become an unsurpassed teacher to sentient beings and yet manifests reverence toward preceptors and teachers of their own; the tenth closes the entire path with ten separate aspects of bodhisattva conduct — practice, dharma, karma, path, bearing, taking up, skillful means, undertakings, function, and sustaining power — none of which is ever halted.
Ten Things Never Halted
The tenth and final adorned path lists ten distinct aspects of bodhisattva conduct in immediate succession — practice, dharma, karma, path, bearing, taking up, skillful means, undertakings, function, sustaining power — each one paired with its own negation of interruption, so that the entire path closes not on a single achievement but on ten separate things that simply never stop.
不由他教，得無礙辯，智慧光明普能照了一切佛法，為一切如來神力所持，與一切諸佛同一法身，成就一切堅固大人明淨密法，安住一切平等諸乘，諸佛境界皆現其前，具足一切世智光明，照見一切諸眾生界，能為眾生作知法師，而示求正法未曾休息，雖實與眾生作無上師，而示行尊敬闍梨和尚。何以故？菩薩摩訶薩善巧方便住菩薩道，隨其所應皆為示現。是為第九莊嚴道。
"Without being taught by another, they attain unobstructed eloquence, their light of wisdom universally able to illuminate every buddha-dharma; sustained by the spiritual power of every tathāgata, sharing one and the same dharma-body with every buddha, accomplishing every firm, bright, pure, and secret dharma of a great being, abiding in equality with every vehicle, every buddha's own domain manifest before them, complete in the light of every worldly wisdom, clearly seeing the whole realm of sentient beings, able to serve beings as a teacher who knows the dharma; and yet manifesting a search for the true dharma that has never once rested; though in truth serving as an unsurpassed teacher to sentient beings, manifesting reverent conduct toward preceptors and teachers. Why is this? Because the bodhisattva-mahāsattva, skillfully abiding in the bodhisattva path, manifests in whatever way is fitting. This is the ninth adorned path.
善根具足，諸行究竟，一切如來所共灌頂，到一切法自在彼岸，無礙法繒以冠其首；其身遍至一切世界，普現如來無礙之身，於法自在最上究竟，轉於無礙清淨法輪；一切菩薩自在之法皆已成就，而為眾生故，於一切國土示現受生；與三世諸佛同一境界，而不廢菩薩行，不捨菩薩法，不懈菩薩業，不離菩薩道，不弛菩薩儀，不斷菩薩取，不息菩薩巧方便，不絕菩薩所作事，不厭菩薩生成用，不止菩薩住持力。何以故？菩薩欲疾證阿耨多羅三藐三菩提，觀一切智門修菩薩行無休息故。是為第十莊嚴道。若諸菩薩安住此法，則得如來無上大莊嚴道，亦不捨菩薩道。
Complete in roots of goodness, their every practice brought to its ultimate end, jointly consecrated by every tathāgata, having reached the far shore of sovereign freedom in every dharma, crowned with the unobstructed silk banner of the dharma upon their head; their body reaching every world, universally manifesting the tathāgata's own unobstructed body, sovereignly free within the dharma at its most supreme and ultimate, turning the unobstructed, pure wheel of dharma; every bodhisattva's own dharma of sovereign freedom already accomplished, and yet, for the sake of sentient beings, manifesting birth within every land; sharing the very same domain as every buddha of the three times, and yet never abandoning bodhisattva practice, never forsaking the bodhisattva's own dharma, never growing lax in bodhisattva karma, never departing from the bodhisattva path, never relaxing the bodhisattva's own bearing, never interrupting the bodhisattva's own taking up, never resting from the bodhisattva's own skillful means, never severing the bodhisattva's own undertakings, never wearying of the bodhisattva's own function of bringing forth beings, and never halting the bodhisattva's own sustaining power. Why is this? Because the bodhisattva, wishing to swiftly realize unsurpassed, perfect, complete awakening, observes the gate of all-knowing wisdom and cultivates bodhisattva practice without ever resting. This is the tenth adorned path. If bodhisattvas abide within this dharma, they attain the tathāgata's own unsurpassed, great adorned path, and yet never abandon the bodhisattva path.
雖實與眾生作無上師，而示行尊敬闍梨和尚 — though in truth serving as an unsurpassed teacher to sentient beings, manifesting reverent conduct toward preceptors and teachers. The ninth adorned path does not treat a bodhisattva's own supreme status as a reason to stop deferring to their own teachers; the reverence shown is described as a manifestation chosen for what is fitting, not as evidence of any actual gap in attainment.
