16.9 Benevolent Gnosis Heartland
Tang Tripitaka said, achieving delicately wonderful Four Victorious Interpretations, aka four non-hindrance interpretations can preach prevailingly in ten directions, hence the name of Benevolent Gnosis Heartland.
1 Hindrance of Unwilling to Benefit Others
Ninth land Bodhisattvas sever the Hindrances of Unwilling to Benefit Others. The saying is that among Know Hindrances, First Quadrants aggregately born have Bodhisattvas not desired to diligently cultivate benefits on affairs pleasing and maturing sentient beings. Those hindrances hinder the Four Non-Hindrance Interpretations. When Bodhisattvas enter the ninth land, those hindrances are terminated for ever. Thus, we say that the ninth land Bodhisattvas sever the two fools and their roughs and heavies.
(1) Fool of Gnostic-Debate Generally-Hold Spell Insufficiency. The Sufficient Generally-Hold Spell on Innumerable Teachings is the said “Significance Non-Hindrance Interpretation”, which is generally-hold sufficiency on the being interpreted, because on one significance shows all significances. So, what is the one significance? Answer: Victorious Significance. Bitter Victorious Crux and Aggregate Victorious Crux are mundane victorious significances; Salvation Victorious Crux and Path Victorious Crux are victorious significances of transcending mundaneness. The four victorious cruxes are all teachings of Buddhism.
On limitless names, sentences, and words, the Generally-Hold Spell Self-Sufficiency is the Laws Non-Hindrance Interpretation, which is Generally-Hold Self-Sufficiency on the able to denote, on one name sentence word shows all names sentences and words. So, what is this one name sentence word? Answer: Name-Color (see fig. 16.9-35, 37). Name is the four colorless nodes (cf. section 11.4 Five Nodes), which include 83 of all Buddhist 100 laws. Color is the color node, which includes 11 laws. Name-Color can give rise to all laws, that is, all laws. What about the 6 none-as laws? The 6 none-as laws are based on "none, empty”, are names given to the absentness of certain laws in the previous 94 laws.
On the rear side of latter gnostic debate, the General-Hold Spell Self-Sufficiency is the Word Non-Hindrance Interpretation, which one sound shows all sounds. Then, what is the one sound word? Answer: Empty. Listen, reader, the Buddha always talks about emptiness, and Buddhism is also known as Empty Door.
(2) Fool of Debate Eloquence Insufficiency, the eloquence self-sufficiency is the said Eloquence Non-Hindrance Interpretation, is just benevolently finding opportunity, smartly making a speech.

Here is a brief introduction to the ten godly powers of the ninth land Bodhisattva.
(1) Intellectual Strength of Knowing Correct Place or Wrong Place, the statement is that on all places all times and all affairs, ninth land Bodhisattva knows right and wrong. Although there are many affairs in the world, in terms of the places where they occur, there are only 22 places, which are also known as 22 Escalatory Roots (cf. section 11.6.5 Escalatory Fruits).

Annotation 16.9-1, the three generally-hold stillness in the “Great Grand Worlds” are Less Desire (Fig. 16.9-34), No Phenomena (Fig. 16.9-33), and Emptiness (Fig. 16.9-32). According to the process of practicing Buddhism, there are four general-hold stillness, see Section 16.3.

(see Section 10.9 Godly Trinity for more information).

(10) Intellectual Strength of Knowing Permanently Eradicating Habitual Tendencies, the statement is saying that all the residual muddles and habits will never arise again, ninth land Bodhisattva factually knows those all.
3 True Suchness Depended by Self-sufficient Intelligence
Ninth land Bodhisattvas testify and gain the “True Suchness Depended by Self-sufficient Intelligence”, have achieved self-sufficiency on Victorious Interpretations. So, what is this true suchness? Of course, the Four Victorious Cruxes. Among the Four Cruxes, Bitter Crux is the biggest and can assimilate the other three cruxes, therefore, the Bitter Crux, that is, the Three-Grand Great-Grand Worlds” (Figure 16.9-36), is the True Suchness Depended by Self-Sufficient Intelligence.
