"First, he is perfect in faith. How is faith perfect? This is believe deeply that the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha are Eternal, that all the Buddhas of the ten directions effect expedients, and that all beings and icchantikas possess the Buddha Nature. It is not believing that the Tathagata is subject to birth, aging, illness and death, that he has undergone penance, that Devadatta truly caused the Buddha's body to bleed, that the Tathagata ultimately enters Nirvana, and that the Wonderful Dharma dies out. This is when we say that the Bodhisattva is perfect in faith."
