DESCRIPTION
Then ten great bodhisattvas from the ten directions arrive, each attended by bodhisattvas as numerous as the atoms in a buddha kṣetra. Their names were:
- Forest of Merit Bodhisattva - the leader of the Fourth Assembly
- Forest of Wisdom Bodhisattva
- Forest of Supremacy Bodhisattva
- Forest of Fearlessness Bodhisattva
- Forest of a Sense of Shame and Dread of Blame Bodhisattva
- Forest of Vigor Bodhisattva
- Forest of Powers Bodhisattva
- Forest of Practices Bodhisattva
- Forest of Enlightenment Bodhisattva
- Forest of Knowledge Bodhisattva
The Buddha then emits rays of light from the tops of his two feet.
The ten bodhisattvas then recite verses in response to the light.
