33. Buddhakārya
How then, son of good family, does the bodhisatva appear to many beings (satveṣu pratyupasthitaḥ) performing the deeds of a Buddha (buddhakārya) even when the Buddhas do not appear?
Son of good family, the bodhisatva has perfected the purification of the ten powers (daśabalapariśodhananiryāta) by knowing what is proper and what is improper (sthānāsthānajñāna);
he has perfected the purification of the four fearlessness (caturvaiśāradyapariśodhananiryāta) by knowing the cessation of impurities (āsravakṣayajñāna);
he has perfected the purification of the eighteen special qualities of the Tathāgata (aṣṭādaśāveṇikabuddhadharmapariśodhananiryāta) by knowing the unattached knowledge of the three times (tryadhvāsaṅgajñānajñāna);
.
he has perfected the purification of five kinds of sight (pañcacakṣuḥpariśodhananiryāta) by obtaining the light of the sight of the Buddha (buddhacakṣurālokalabdha);
he has perfected the purification of all supernormal knowledges (sarvābhijñāpariśodhananiryāta) by the attainment of going to the seat of awakening (bodhimaṇḍagamanalabdha);
he has perfected fulfilling all good qualities (sarvakuśaladharmaparipūraṇaniryāta) by completely cutting off the habitual patterns of vices (kleśavāsanā);
he has perfected the purification of the ornaments of body, speech, thought, the auspicious marks and signs (kāyavākcittalakṣaṇānuvyañjanālaṃkārapariśodhananiryāta) by accumulating all collections of merits (sarvapuṇyasaṃbhāropacaya);
he has perfected the purification of the ten stages (daśabhūmipariśodhananiryāta) by obtaining the stage of consecration (abhiṣeka);
he has perfected the purification of all qualities of the Buddha (sarvabuddhadharmapariśodhananiryāta) by accumulating the collection of knowledges (jñānasaṃbhāropacaya);
In that way, son of good family, the bodhisatva appears to many beings, performing the deeds of the Buddha even when the Buddhas do not appear.
