教化地 [jiao hua de]—The Ground of Teaching/Transformation – [Term] The altruistic state or position where one, having already attained Buddhahood, can teach and transform others. The Treatise on Rebirth (往生論 [wang sheng lun]) states: "Those who emerge from the fifth gate, with great compassion, observe all suffering sentient beings, manifest an adaptive body, and return into the garden of birth and death and the forest of afflictions. They roam with spiritual powers and arrive at the Ground of Teaching/Transformation, due to the dedication of their original vow power." The commentary to the same treatise further states: "Once spiritual practice is accomplished, one should arrive at the Ground of Teaching/Transformation. The Ground of Teaching/Transformation is precisely the Bodhisattva's ground of self-enjoyment."

教化地—【術語】己既成佛,可教化他人之利他地位也。往生論曰:「出第五門者,以大慈悲,觀察一切苦惱眾生,示應化身,迴入生死園煩惱林中。遊神通,至教化地,以本願力迴向故。」同論註下曰:「修行成就已,當至教化地。教化地,即是菩薩自娛樂地。」

[shù yǔ] jǐ jì chéng fú, kě jiào huà tā rén zhī lì tā de wèi yě. wǎng shēng lùn yuē: “chū dì wǔ mén zhě, yǐ dà cí bēi, guān chá yī qiè kǔ nǎo zhòng shēng, shì yīng huà shēn, huí rù shēng sǐ yuán fán nǎo lín zhōng. yóu shén tōng, zhì jiào huà de, yǐ běn yuàn lì huí xiàng gù.” tóng lùn zhù xià yuē: “xiū xíng chéng jiù yǐ, dāng zhì jiào huà de. jiào huà de, jí shì pú sà zì yú lè de.”
