Sutra:
Then Ananda arose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's feet, and said to the Buddha, "Now that we who are stupid and slow, who are fond of erudition but have not sought to cease the outflows of our minds, have received the Buddha's compassionate instructions and have attained the proper means to become infused with cultivation, we experience joy in body and mind and obtain tremendous benefit.
Commentary:
Then Ananda arose from his seat, bowed at the Buddha's
feeet, and said to the Buddha, "Now that we who are stupid and slow, that is, those of us in the assembly who still must study and must rely on our meemories,
who are fond of erudition but have not sought to cease the outflows of our minds: we like to read, to study, and to memorize. We are quite clever at that. But as to the outflows of our thoughts and actions, we have not sought to get rid of them. We have not decided we want to transcend the Triple Realm. We are not concerned about getting out of the burning house. Now that we
have received the Buddha's compassionate instructions and have attained the proper means to become infused with cultivation, we experience joy in body and mind and obtain tremendous benefit. The Buddha has now taught us the genuine Dharma-methods that we should cultivate and steep ourselves in. This makes us very happy. It's been of great benefit to us.
Sutra:
"World Honored One, for one who cultivates in this way and is certified as having attained the Buddha's
samadhi, but who has not yet reached Nirvana, what is meant by the level of 'dry wisdom'? What are the 'Forty-four Minds'? What is the sequence in which one cultivates till one reaches one's goal? What place must one reach to be said to have 'entered the Grounds'? and what is meant by a Bodhisattva of 'Equal Enlightenment'?"
Commentary:
"World Honored One, for one who cultivates in this way and is certified as having attained the Buddha's
samadhi, but who has not yet reached Nirvana, what is meant by the level of "dry wisdom"? Buddha, we cultivate in this way until we are certified to the fruition and give proof to the Buddha's samadhi-power. But before we reach Nirvana, there are many levels to pass through.
What are the 'Forty-Four Minds"? What is the sequence in which one cultivates till one reaches one's goal? What place must one reach to be said to have 'entered the Grounds? How do we know when we reach the level of a Bodhisattva of the Ten Grounds?
