眾生蒙受如來之十種恩。又作如來十恩。即：(一)發心普被恩，如來為眾生而發菩提心，咸令受利益得安樂。(二)難行苦行恩，如來在往昔因中，施捨頭目、國城、妻子；受難行之苦，皆為眾生之利樂。(三)一向為他恩，如來積劫修諸功德，但為度脫眾生，未曾一念為己。(四)垂形六道恩，為救濟眾苦，垂化身現於六道。(五)隨逐眾生恩，見眾生無出離生死之心，長劫不捨，故運平等大慈心，隨逐救濟，令得安樂。(六)大悲深重恩，見眾生造惡，心生痛切；復觀眾生墮三惡道受種種苦，心大憂惱，起大悲而救護之。若見行善，則生大歡喜。(七)隱勝彰劣恩，如來為普賢等諸大菩薩示現實報勝應身；若說三乘之教，則隱勝妙相，顯彰三十二相劣應之身，令二乘、小教菩薩皆蒙利益。(八)隱實施權恩，觀眾生根機狹劣，隱大乘實教，誘以人天三乘之權法令成就，再以大乘度脫之。(九)示滅令慕恩，示現滅度，令眾生知值遇佛出世之難，令薄德之人植善根，作難遇想。(十)悲念無盡恩，若示同人壽，則應住世百年，而八十入滅，則留二十年餘福以蔭末法之弟子。又留三藏教法，廣使眾生依之修行。〔華嚴大疏鈔卷二十三、大明三藏法數卷三十六〕

Ten kinds of the Buddha's grace: his (1) initial resolve to universalize (his salvation); (2) self-sacrifice (in previous lives); (3) complete altruism; (4) his descent into all the six states of existence for their salvation; (5) relief of the living from distress and mortality; (6) profound pity; (7) revelation of himself in human and glorified form; (8) teaching in accordance with the capacity of his hearers, first hīnayāna, then māhayāna doctrine; (9) revealing his nirvāna to stimulate his disciples; (10) pitying thought for all creatures, in that dying at 80 instead of at 100 he left twenty years of his own happiness to his disciples; and also the tripiṭaka for universal salvation.
