But further considering, “These cannot be the only conditions that make a Buddha,” and beholding the ninth Perfection of Good-will, he thought thus within himself, “O wise Sumedha, do thou from this time forth fulfil the perfection of Good-will, mayest thou be of one mind towards friends and foes. And as water fills with its refreshing coolness good men and bad alike,[141] even so, if thou art of one mind in friendly feeling towards all mortals, thou shalt become Buddha.” And he strenuously resolved to attain the ninth perfection of Good-will. Therefore it is said, 165. For these are not all the conditions of a Buddha, I will seek out other conditions that bring about Buddhaship. 166. Seeking I beheld the ninth Perfection of Good-will Practised and followed by former Buddhas. 167. Do thou, taking resolutely upon thyself this ninth perfection, Become unrivalled in kindness, if thou wilt become Buddha. 168. And as water fills with its coolness Good men and bad alike, and carries off all impurity, 169. Even so do thou look with friendship alike on the evil and the good, Advancing to the perfection of kindness, thou shalt attain supreme Buddhaship. But further considering, “These cannot be the only conditions that make a Buddha,” and beholding the tenth Perfection of Equanimity, he thought thus within himself, “O wise Sumedha, from this time do thou fulfil the perfection of Equanimity, be thou of equal mind in prosperity and adversity. And as the earth is indifferent when things pure or impure are cast upon it, even so, if thou art indifferent in prosperity and adversity, thou shalt become Buddha.” And he strenuously resolved to attain the tenth perfection of Equanimity. Therefore it is said, 170. For these cannot be all the conditions of a Buddha, I will seek other conditions that bring about Buddhaship. 171. Seeking then I beheld the tenth Perfection of Equanimity Practised and followed by former Buddhas. 172. If thou take resolutely upon thyself this tenth perfection, Becoming well-balanced and firm, thou shalt attain supreme Buddhaship. 173. And as the earth is indifferent to pure and impure things cast upon her, To both alike, and is free from anger and favour, 174. Even so do thou ever be evenly-balanced in joy and grief, Advancing to the perfection of equanimity, thou shalt attain supreme Buddhaship.
