"Maitreya, there are two gestures of the bodhisattvas.
What are they?
The first gesture is to believe in all sorts of phrases and words,
and the second gesture is to penetrate exactly the profound principle of the Dharma without being afraid.
Such are the two gestures of the bodhisattvas.
Maitreya, it must be known that the bodhisattvas who believe in all sorts of words and phrases, and apply themselves accordingly, are beginners
and not experienced in religious practice.
But the bodhisattvas who read, hear, believe, and teach this profound teaching with its impeccable expressions reconciling dichotomies and its analyses of stages of development these are veterans in the religious practice.
