Disciples of the Buddha, these great vows through ten propositions of finality come to accomplishment. What are the ten? They are: the end of the realm of living beings; the end of the world-realms; the end of the realm of empty space; the end of the Dharma Realm; the end of the Realm of Nirvana; the end of the realm of Buddhas' appearing; the end of the realm of wisdom of Thus Come Ones; the end of the realm of what is thought by mind; the end of the realm of states entered by the Buddha's wisdom; the end of the realm of worldly turnings, dharma turnings, and knowledge turnings. " "If the realm of living beings is ended, then my vows are ended. If world-realms, up to and including the realm of worldly turnings, dharma turnings, and knowledge turnings are ended, then my vows are ended. But, the realm of living beings up to and including the realm of worldly turnings, dharma turnings, and knowledge turnings, cannot be ended. Therefore, these great vows and good roots of mine have no end." "Disciples of the Buddha, after the Bodhisattva has made such great vows, he then obtains a beneficent mind, a compliant mind, an accordant mind, a quiet mind, a subdued mind, a still and extinct mind, a humble mind, a moistened mind, an unmoving mind, a non-turbid mind.
