-Phẩm 26: “Thập Địa”, kinh Hoa Nghiêm:

 

~SUTRA:

      “Disciples of the Buddha, this bodhisattva further makes the following reflections: "all buddhas' Proper Dharmas are so profound, so quiet, so still and extinct, so empty, so markless, so wishless, so undefiled, so limitless, so vast and great, while ordinary beings in their minds fall into deviant views.

They abe covered by the film of ignorance.

 

They erect the banner of pride and arrogance.

 

They enter into the net of thirsty love, and course in the dense forest of flattery and deceit, unable to extricate themselves.

 

Their minds are conjoined with stinginess and jealousy, which they never abandon.

 

They constantly great the causal conditions for undergoing birth in the destinies.

 

With greed, hatred and stupidity, they accumulate all KARMA, which day and night increases and grows.

 

with the wind of resentment they fan the fire of mind-consciousness, whose blaze never ceases. all of the KARMA they create is conjoined with inversion.

 

In the flow of desire, the flow of existence, the flow of ignorance, and the flow of views, the seeds of mind-consciousness continually arise.

 

Within the field of the three realms the sprouts of suffering are repeatedly produced.”
