The Seventh Stage -- Far-Going

[Leaders] gain access to the seventh stage by means of ten kinds of special undertaking in the Path which are accomplished by skill in means, transcendent wisdom, and knowledge.

[...]

The seeking of good for all beings is giving;
Discipline is the cessation of afflictions, tolerance is noninjury;
Energy is ever-greater vigor in their undertakings;
Imperturbability on the Path is the meditation of the virtuous.

Excerpted from "The Ten Stages" in The Flower Ornament Scripture: A Translation of the Avatamsaka Sutra by Thomas Cleary

The Sixth Stage -- Presence

[Leaders] in this stage of Presence fully develop unbreakable intent, certain intent, good intent, profound intent, unretreating intent, unrelenting intent, pure intent, endless intent, intent to seek knowledge, intent to perfectly unite means and wisdom.

Wu Li

Wu Li --
The ripples just crossed my mind again;
I remember being in love.
My God, how we rippled the universe,
Forever somewhere in love.

Inspired by The Dancing Wu Li Masters by Gary Zukav

The Fifth Stage -- Difficult to Conquer

In this stage, those experienced lords of contentment
Destroy the actions of false teachers, the abodes of manifold views.
All the good they do is in the cause of enlightened knowledge,
Wishing to become saviors of beings, rich in the ten powers.

[...]

They practice generosity without concern for appearances,
With well-disciplined minds, fundamentally tranquil, extremely calm:
They tolerate what is made in the world, knowing the imperishable truth;
They are endowed with vigor and strength, detached from all things.

Excerpted from "The Ten Stages" in The Flower Ornament Scripture: A Translation of the Avatamsaka Sutra by Thomas Cleary

The Fourth Stage -- Blazing

Those established in the splendor of this stage
Have their minds set on pure truth;
Their zeal blazes, they increase good qualities--
All defilement, impurity, heedlessness, and doubt vanish.
