The Great Perfection of Wisdom Treatise, Fascicles 26-30

大智度論

Fascicle twenty-six details the eighteen exclusive attributes of the Buddha.

Fascicles twenty-seven through thirty elaborate further on what a bodhisattva should practice on the path toward Buddhahood in The Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra: those who wish to eliminate the habitual tendencies of afflictions, abide in the six supernatural powers, surpass the sravaka and pratyekabuddha states and abide in the non-regressing state, attain the dharanis and the samadhis, gain immeasurable and limitless virtue, perfect the Buddha’s thirty-two major marks and eighty minor marks, and ensure that all sentient beings become established in the perfections of giving, morality, patience, diligence, meditative concentration, and wisdom should learn the perfection of prajna wisdom.

Fascicles 1-5, 6-10, 11-15, 16-20 & 21-25 are also available.
