  • 1 fasc., K 96, T 308; translation by 吉迦夜 (*Kivkara; *Kiṅkara; *Kiṃ-kārya): 2nd year of Yanxing 延興, Yuanwei dynasty 元魏 (472) in Beitai 北臺.1 Also called Dafangguang pusadi jing 大方廣菩薩地經 and Pusa shidi jing 菩薩十地經. The account takes place in Gṛdhrakūṭa 耆闍崛山 of Rājagṛha 王舍城, where the Buddha is living with numerous bhikṣus and bodhisattvas. As a response to the questions put forth by the Bodhisattva Inexhaustible Wisdom 無盡智菩薩, the Buddha gives a sermon about the meaning of bodhi and bodhicitta, wherein ten states of mind are arisen from each of the ten perfections. Then ten dhāraṇīs are taught, and the prior ten perfections are each further divided into ten, resulting in the explanation of one hundred perfections. Finally, the great merit of hearing and memorizing the sutra is explained. This text is believed to be a forerunner of the Shidijing 十地經.
