2. THE ACTION OF THE OUTFIT ACC. TO THE ABHIS. ALOKA.
We have thus the 4 Actions, viz. of the Outfit, the
Access, the Accumulation, and the Issue,
which as regards their essence, represent the activity (of the
Bodhisattva) on the Paths of Training, Illumination, Concentrated
Contemplation, and on the Special Path. Among these,
the Action of the Outfit which, essentially, is a manifestation
of the Bodhisattva's energy, is to be discussed presently : —

THE 6 TRANSCENDENTAL VIRTUES AS BEING ALL OF THEM THE
COMPONENT PARTS OF THE CLIMAX OF CHARITY.
1. With the Bodhisattva who practises the Climax of
Charity, y the Outfit with the Climax of Charityy
par excellence is brought to accomplishment by granting the h
gift of the Doctrine, etc.

2. With the same (Bodhisattva who practises the Climax
of Charity), the Outfit with the Climax of Morality
Is brought to accomplishment by the rejection of thoughts peculiar
to the Sravakas etc. (i.e. of the desire of attaining Salvation
exclusively for one's own benefit).—

3. The Outfit with the Climax of Patience
(or of Steadfastness) is brought to accomplishment by mastering
the Doctrine of Omniscience, by finding satisfaction with
it and by the analysis of its elements. Moreover (it is brought
to accomplishment) by enduring harsh words etc. from all human
beings.—

4. The Outfit with the Climax of Energy
(with the same Bodhisattva who practises the Climax of
Charity) is brought to accomplishment by arousing zeal, in order
that the roots of virtue might grow higher and higher.—

Dutt, 176. 10—12.—Again, the Bodhisattva, the Mahasattva,
with his mind directed towards the attainment of
the Omniscience of the Buddha, practises Charity, but does not
transform it into a component factor for the attainment of the
Stage of a Sravaka or Pratyekabuddha (Arhat) This is the
Outfit with the Climax of Morality of him who
practises the highest form of Charity.—
