Ten Kinds of Belly, Ten Kinds of Treasury
The list of the body continues with ten kinds of belly, closing on one vast enough to contain every sentient being, itself described as entering the buddha's own belly. Ten kinds of treasury then follow, moving from never cutting off the seed of buddhahood, through bringing beings of every kind of spiritual destiny to maturity, to the great lion's roar of fearlessness.
Three Kinds of Sentient Being, One Treasury Each
The ten kinds of treasury include a striking triad addressed to three different spiritual destinies at once: beings of fixed right destiny awakened at exactly their own timing, beings of indeterminate destiny brought to maturity through an unbroken cause, and even beings of fixed wrong destiny met with great compassion so that some future cause might still be accomplished for them.
佛子!菩薩摩訶薩有十種腹。何等為十?所謂;離諂曲腹,心清淨故;離幻偽腹,性質直故;不虛假腹,無險詖故;無欺奪腹,於一切物無所貪故;斷煩惱腹,具智慧故;清淨心腹,離諸惡故;觀察飲食腹,念如實法故;觀察無作腹,覺悟緣起故;覺悟一切出離道腹,善成熟深心故;遠離一切邊見垢腹,令一切眾生得入佛腹故。是為十。若諸菩薩安住此法,則得如來無上廣大腹,悉能容受一切眾生。
"Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten kinds of belly. What are these ten? Namely: a belly free of flattery and crookedness, because the mind is pure; a belly free of illusion and falsehood, because the nature is upright; a belly free of falseness, because it is free of anything treacherous or biased; a belly free of deceit and seizure, because it covets nothing at all among any possession; a belly that has cut off affliction, because it is complete in wisdom; a belly of a pure mind, because it is free of every evil; a belly that observes food and drink, because it reflects on the dharma exactly as it truly is; a belly that observes non-action, because it awakens to dependent origination; a belly that awakens to every path of liberation, because it skillfully brings the profound mind to maturity; and a belly that stays far from the defilement of every extreme view, because it causes every sentient being to enter the buddha's own belly. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas abide within this dharma, they attain the tathāgata's own unsurpassed, vast belly, able to contain every sentient being.
「佛子!菩薩摩訶薩有十種藏。何等為十?所謂:不斷佛種是菩薩藏,開示佛法無量威德故;增長法種是菩薩藏,出生智慧廣大光明故;住持僧種是菩薩藏,令其得入不退法輪故;覺悟正定眾生是菩薩藏,善隨其時不逾一念故;究竟成熟不定眾生是菩薩藏,令因相續無有間斷故;為邪定眾生發起大悲是菩薩藏,令未來因悉得成就故;滿佛十力不可壞因是菩薩藏,具降伏魔軍無對善根故;最勝無畏大師子吼是菩薩藏,令一切眾生皆歡喜故;得佛十八不共法是菩薩藏,智慧普入一切處故;普了知一切眾生、一切剎、一切法、一切佛是菩薩藏,於一念中悉明見故。是為十。若諸菩薩安住此法,則得如來無上善根不可壞大智慧藏。
Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten kinds of treasury. What are these ten? Namely: never cutting off the seed of buddhahood is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it reveals the measureless, majestic virtue of the buddha-dharma; causing the seed of the dharma to grow is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it brings forth the vast light of wisdom; upholding the seed of the saṃgha is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it causes beings to enter the never-regressing wheel of dharma; awakening sentient beings of fixed right destiny is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it skillfully follows their own timing without exceeding a single thought; ultimately bringing sentient beings of indeterminate destiny to maturity is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it causes their cause to continue without any interruption; giving rise to great compassion for sentient beings of fixed wrong destiny is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it causes their future cause to be entirely accomplished; fulfilling the indestructible cause of the buddha's own ten powers is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it is complete in the unrivaled root of goodness that subdues every army of māra; the most excellent, fearless, great lion's roar is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it causes every sentient being to rejoice; attaining the buddha's own eighteen unshared dharmas is a bodhisattva's treasury, because its wisdom universally enters every place; and fully understanding every sentient being, every land, every dharma, and every buddha is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it clearly sees all of this within a single thought. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas abide within this dharma, they attain the tathāgata's own unsurpassed, indestructible, great treasury of wisdom born of roots of goodness.
為邪定眾生發起大悲是菩薩藏,令未來因悉得成就故 — giving rise to great compassion for sentient beings of fixed wrong destiny is a bodhisattva's treasury, because it causes their future cause to be entirely accomplished. Even beings traditionally described as fixed toward a wrong destiny are not excluded from this treasury; compassion directed at them is described as accomplishing some future cause, without the text specifying when or how that cause ripens.
