十發趣心 [shi fa qu xin]—Ten Minds of Initiation—[Term] The Brahma Net Sutra (梵網經心地品 [fan wang jing xin de pin]), Chapter on the Mind Ground, states: "The Ten Minds of Initiation that lead towards the fruit (of Buddhahood) are: first, the mind of letting go (捨心 [she xin]); second, the mind of precepts (戒心 [jie xin]); third, the mind of patience (忍心 [ren xin]); fourth, the mind of diligence (進心 [jin xin]); fifth, the mind of concentration (定心 [ding xin]); sixth, the mind of wisdom (慧心 [hui xin]); seventh, the mind of vows (願心 [yuan xin]); eighth, the mind of protection (護心 [hu xin]); ninth, the mind of joy (喜心 [xi xin]); and tenth, the mind of culmination (頂心 [ding xin]). All Buddhas should know that from these Ten Minds of Initiation, one enters into the firm Dharma forbearance (堅法忍 [jian fa ren])." According to Master Ouyi's (蕅益大師 [ou yi da shi]) Combined Commentary on the Brahma Net Sutra (梵網合註 [fan wang he zhu]), these are considered to be the Ten Abodes (十住法門 [shi zhu fa men]) Dharma-gate.
十發趣心—【術語】梵網經心地品曰：「十發趣心向果：一捨心，二戒心，三忍心，四進心，五定心，六慧心，七願心，八護心，九喜心，十頂心。諸佛當知，從是十發趣入堅法忍中。」案明蕅益大師梵網合註以為即十住法門。
