In terms of the tenth resolve it was said:
Upon them on the tenth ground every buddha now bestows supreme
Empowerment, and through their wisdom they now reach supremacy.
Then from these victor’s heirs spontaneous rains of Dharma shower down,
Like torrents from the clouds, so beings’ crops of virtue may increase. (10.1)
The bodhisattvas on the tenth bodhisattva ground are empowered by the illustrious buddhas, as stated:
When ten incalculable meditative concentrations come to an end, a concentration called Empowered to be indistinguishable from the wisdom of omniscience develops for the bodhisattva. As soon as this happens, a giant jewel lotus the size of a million trichiliocosms inlaid with all kinds of precious jewels …, and surrounded by as many lotuses as there are minute particles in ten incalculable trichiliocosms. The bodhisattva then comes to rest, seated there in a body that corresponds. As soon as he attains this concentration and appears seated there …. From the circle of hair between the brows of all the illustrious buddhas who have gathered from all the buddha fields, light now streams forth to empower the bodhisattva.1
Their perfection of wisdom is fully purified, and a spontaneous rain of the true Dharma pours down as if from massive rain-clouds in order to make the harvests of the world’s virtue bountiful.
The explanation of the tenth resolve has thus been completed.
