Sutra of
Innumerable Meanings, Chapter I: Virtues
是諸菩薩，莫不皆是法身大士，戒、定、慧、解脫、解脫知見之所成就。其心禪寂，常在三昧，恬安惔怕，無為無欲，顛倒、亂想不復得入，靜寂清澄，志玄虛漠，守之不動億百千劫，無量法門悉現在前；得大智慧，通達諸法，曉了、分別性相真實，有無長短，明現顯白
Of these
Bodhisattvas there is none who is not a great saint of the Law Body. They have
attained commands, meditations, Wisdom, emancipation, and the knowledge of
emancipation. With Tranquil minds and constantly in contemplation they are
peaceful, Indifferent, non-active, and free from desires. They are immune from
any kind of delusion or distraction. Their minds are calm and clear, profound
and infinite. They remain in this state for hundreds of thousands of kotis of
kalpas, and all of the innumerable teachings have been revealed to them. Having
obtained the great wisdom, they penetrate all things, they completely
understand the reality of their nature and form, and clearly discriminate
existing and non-existing, long and short. (from copyrighted translation by
