. . . . "3. Sutra.
Concentrating oneself in the magic-like concentration. Staying in this concentration, the bodhisattva accomplishes all activities, but his mind bears upon none.
Sastra. The magician to some extent fills the universe with magical fictive objects: armies consisting of the four elements, palaces and cities, food and drink, singing and dancing, killings and calamities, etc.
In the same way also, the bodhisattva established in this concentration fills the universes of the ten directions with his metamorphoses: first he makes gifts and satisfies beings; then he preaches the Dharma, makes conversions and destroys the three bad destinies; finally he establishes beings in the Three Vehicles : in all these beneficent activities, not a single one fails.
The mind of the bodhisattva remains motionless and he no longer grasps objects of the mind.
4. Sutra.
Perpetual concentration. In the bodhisattva, it is the concentration resulting from retribution.
Sastra. Having obtained the concentration like a magic show, the bodhisattva accomplishes all his activities by means of effort and with its help. Now it is a matter of the innate concentration resulting from retribution at the moment of passing into a new existence. In the same way that a person sees visible without having recourse to the power of the mind, so the bodhisattva who is established in this innate concentration saves beings. It easily surpasses the concentration like a magic show, for it spontaneously accomplishes its role without any help. Thus, among those who seek for wealth, some obtain it thanks to some help, but others obtain it spontaneously..."
