Avaivartika - 10


The Avaivartika and the causal relations of the 32 Marks of Perfection of the Tathagata.

"The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (30) does not speak ill of the shortcomings of others and does not slander the Wonderful Dharma. Because of this, he acquires the Voice-of-Buddha.

The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (31) sees all the enmities and gains a happy mind. Because of this, he gains the blue tone of his eyes.

The Bodhisattva-Mahasattva (32) does not conceal the virtues of others, but praises the good which they have. Because of this, he gains a face with a white hair tuft on his brow.

Oh, good man! When the Bodhisattva-Mahasattva practices these 32 kinds of causal relations, he gains a thought that will not retrogress from the mind that seeks the Bodhi. "

Nirvana Sutra, Chapter 34, on Bodhisattva Lion's Roar 2.
