Chapter 21: Activity and Perfection, 28 July 1982

The ten bhumis and the enlightened activity of the buddha

Being established in conduct is a sign of being a bodhisattva, the roles of householder and mendicant, the superior intention of bodhisattvas, how they take care of sentient beings and how they are reborn. These chapters also discuss the eleven bhumis, what bodhisattvas train in on them, what they achieve on them, the signs on them, their benefit and their hermeneutical etymologies.
Chapter 21 consists of verses of praise for the many qualities of a buddha, such as omniscient wisdom, compassion, supernatural knowledges, the major and minor marks, the ten powers, the four fearlessness, the eighteen unique qualities and the perfection of the paramitas.
