Ten Kinds of Observation, Ten Kinds of Universal Observation
Ten kinds of observation move from every karmic deed seen down to its most subtle detail through to the consecrated ground where a bodhisattva stands unmoving within every buddha-dharma. Ten kinds of universal observation then follow, each one meeting a specific kind of sentient being — the lazy, the harmful, the doubting — with the exact remedy their own condition calls for.
A Remedy Matched to Each Condition
The ten kinds of universal observation each name a specific kind of sentient being and pair it with an exact response: those who violate precepts are placed within the tathāgata's own pure precepts, those with a mind of harm are placed within the power of patience, and the lazy are urged toward diligence rather than simply observed from a distance.
佛子！菩薩摩訶薩有十種觀察。何等為十？所謂：知諸業觀察，微細悉見故；知諸趣觀察，不取眾生故；知諸根觀察，了達無根故；知諸法觀察，不壞法界故；見佛法觀察，勤修佛眼故；得智慧觀察，如理說法故；無生忍觀察，決了佛法故；不退地觀察，滅一切煩惱，超出三界、二乘地故；灌頂地觀察，於一切佛法自在不動故；善覺智三昧觀察，於一切十方施作佛事故。是為十。若諸菩薩安住此法，則得如來無上大觀察智。
"Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten kinds of observation. What are these ten? Namely: the observation of knowing every karmic deed, because it sees even the most subtle detail in full; the observation of knowing every destiny, because it takes hold of no sentient being; the observation of knowing every faculty, because it fully understands that there is no fixed faculty at all; the observation of knowing every dharma, because it never damages the dharma-realm; the observation of seeing the buddha-dharma, because it diligently cultivates the buddha eye; the observation of attaining wisdom, because it teaches the dharma in accordance with principle; the observation of the acceptance of non-arising, because it definitively understands the buddha-dharma; the observation of the never-regressing ground, because it extinguishes every affliction, transcending the three realms and the ground of the two lesser vehicles; the observation of the consecrated ground, because it is sovereignly free and unmoving within every buddha-dharma; and the observation of the samādhi of skillfully awakened wisdom, because it carries out the work of a buddha throughout every one of the ten directions. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas abide within this dharma, they attain the tathāgata's own unsurpassed, great wisdom of observation.
「佛子！菩薩摩訶薩有十種普觀察。何等為十？所謂：普觀一切諸來求者，以無違心滿其意故；普觀一切犯戒眾生，安置如來淨戒中故；普觀一切害心眾生，安置如來忍力中故；普觀一切懈怠眾生，勸令精勤不捨荷負大乘擔故；普觀一切亂心眾生，令住如來一切智地無散動故；普觀一切惡慧眾生，令除疑惑破有見故；普觀一切平等善友，順其教命住佛法故；普觀一切所聞之法，疾得證見最上義故；普觀一切無邊眾生，常不捨離大悲力故；普觀一切諸佛之法，速得成就一切智故。是為十。若諸菩薩安住此法，則得如來無上大智慧普觀察。
Son of the Buddha! A bodhisattva-mahāsattva has ten kinds of universal observation. What are these ten? Namely: universally observing every one who comes seeking, satisfying their wish with a mind that never refuses; universally observing every sentient being who violates the precepts, placing them within the tathāgata's own pure precepts; universally observing every sentient being with a mind of harm, placing them within the tathāgata's own power of patience; universally observing every lazy sentient being, urging them toward diligence, never abandoning the burden of the great vehicle; universally observing every sentient being with a disturbed mind, causing them to abide, unscattered, in the tathāgata's own ground of all-knowing wisdom; universally observing every sentient being of unwholesome understanding, causing them to remove doubt and break the view of existence; universally observing every equal, good friend, according with their teaching and command, abiding in the buddha-dharma; universally observing every dharma heard, swiftly attaining realization and vision of the supreme meaning; universally observing every boundless sentient being, forever never abandoning the power of great compassion; and universally observing the dharma of every buddha, swiftly accomplishing all-knowing wisdom. These are the ten. If bodhisattvas abide within this dharma, they attain the tathāgata's own unsurpassed, great wisdom of universal observation.
普觀一切懈怠眾生，勸令精勤不捨荷負大乘擔故 — universally observing every lazy sentient being, urging them toward diligence, never abandoning the burden of the great vehicle. Most entries in this list pair observation with a matched inner state — patience for harm, precepts for violation — but this one moves directly into active urging, treating observation of laziness as incomplete without the direct exhortation that follows it.
