52 Stages of Bodhisattva Cultivation

because Amitabha PL is a land of Equanimity and non-dualism. that's it's most unique , inconcievable and cannot use our common sense to think about it.

para 2:

Grand Master Oyi said even though one who attain rebirth in Amitabha PL is a fan fu(ordinary beings), but their ability of samathi, prajna, spiritual powers, virtue are as closed to above 7th bhumi. if one say they are bodhisattva, yet not even one piece of their afflictions(karma) are severed. that's Amitabha PL's most unique qualilty.

para 30:

reason is because due to Amitabha's ban yuan wei shen, Original Vow Power, which He cultivated in boundless time. beings will automatically obtain, samathi, prajna, spiritual powers, virtue as that of 8th bhumi.

i'm think as in Diamond sutra. Wisdom/prajna cannot be seek. seek is don't seek, don't seek is seek is true prajna per se.

oso another point is in vow 22:

"Provided I become a Buddha, the Bodhisattvas whose activities have surpassed the stage of ordinary beings, who practice the universal virtue of Universal Worthy Boddhisatva, and who come to be born in my land will be subject to one birth only, and then will become Buddha-elect (ekajatipratibuddhas), with the exception of those who, by their own free will, wish to remain in the stage of Bodhisattvahood to serve the Buddhas of ten quarters for the sake of delivering various beings. Then they will wear the armor of their vows and will travel to all worlds, performing their Bodhisattva duties and accumulating their stock of merit, converting the various beings whose numbers are as great as the grains of sand of the River Ganges to the highest perfect knowledge. Otherwise may I not attain enlightenment.

for that period of time one can reached ekajatipratibuddhas = (yi shen bu zhu) = Last stage bodhisattva like Kuan Yin and Maitreya Bodhisattva is even more unconcievable!
prajna cannot use common sense wan. that's also the quality of 8th Bhumi, let go of one's common sense. Cool

to added, from 11st to 52nd, there are 42 stages which is associated with the 42 ping wu2 ming2. hence 11st Dwelling had already sever 1 piece of wu2ming2(avidya). That's dwelling in Yi Zhen Fa Jie(Avatamsaka World) already or escape the tenth realms and can also be consider "Buddha" in a sense per se. There's no need to 'practice' anymore. The rest of the severing of 41 pieces of wu2ming2 is automatic.
Like for example masters gave a similie of a boat landing onto the jetty. when the boat is almost reaching the jetty, you let the boat "glide" into position. there's no need to do anything. and this 'no-need-to-do-anything' also need 3 Asamkhyeya kalpa! wow.
