Ten Abodes 十住品 part8

　　佛子！云何為菩薩正心住？此菩薩聞十種法，心定不動。何者為十？所謂：聞讚佛、毀佛，於佛法中，心定不動；聞讚法、毀法，於佛法中，心定不動；聞讚菩薩、毀菩薩，於佛法中，心定不動；聞讚菩薩、毀菩薩所行法，於佛法中，心定不動；聞說眾生有量、無量，於佛法中，心定不動；聞說眾生有垢、無垢，於佛法中，心定不動；聞說眾生易度、難度，於佛法中，心定不動；聞說法界有量、無量，於佛法中，心定不動；聞說法界有成、無成，於佛法中，心定不動；聞說法界若有、若無，於佛法中，心定不動。是為十。佛子！此菩薩應勸學十法。何者為十？所謂：一切法無相、一切法無體、一切法不可修、一切法無所有、一切法無真實、一切法空、一切法無性、一切法如幻、一切法如夢、一切法無分別。何以故？欲令其心轉復增進，得不退轉無生法忍；有所聞法，即自開解，不由他教故。
　　“Disciples! What is meant by the bodhisattva’s abode of correct and stable mind? This bodhisattva’s mind is steadfast and unwaving even when hearing these ten Dharmas. What are these ten? They are: hearing Buddha either being praised or reviled, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teaching; hearing Dharma either being praised or reviled, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teaching; hearing bodhisattva either being praised or reviled, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teaching; hearing the practices of the bodhisattva either being praised or reviled, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teaching; hearing the saying of sentient beings are either measurable or immeasurable, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teaching; hearing the saying of sentient beings are either easy or difficult to help to liberate, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teaching; hearing the saying of sentient beings are either contaminated or uncontaminated, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teachings; hearing the saying of Dharma Realm is either measurable or immeasurable, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teaching; hearing the saying of there is either establishment or destruction of the Dharma realms, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teaching; hearing the saying of Dharma Realm either exists or do not exist, the mind is steadfast and unwaving in Buddhas’ teaching. Theses are the ten.” “Disciples! This bodhisattva should be encouraged to learn ten kinds of Dharmas. What are those ten? They are: All Dharmas (Nature) have no marks; all Dharmas (Nature) have no substance; all Dharmas (Nature) cannot be practiced; all Dharmas (Nature) have no existence; all Dharmas (Nature) have no true activity; all Dharmas (Nature) are empty; all Dharmas (Nature) have no selfness; all Dharmas (Nature) are like illusions; all Dharmas (Nature) are like dreams; and all Dharmas (Nature) have no differentiation. What is the reason? To extend and improve a bodhisattva’s mind to non-retrogress from the cognition of the non-arising nature of all existences(無生法忍) and spontaneously understand whatever preaching heard without depending on another’s instruction.”
