The bodhisattva with [knowledge of the Six Perfections (Liu-tu Chih)] is vigorously involved in practicing the Six Perfections (charity, morality, patience, effort, meditation, and wisdom). Chih-i points out that the bodhisattva of the Six Perfections is weak in perceiving truth according to the principle of emptiness (i.e., there is neither origination as the cause nor extinction as the effect), but is strong in perceiving truth according to the phenomenal appearances or facts (i.e., all dharmas have origination as the cause and extinction as the effect). The bodhisattva with the knowledge of the Six Perfections has overcome but not yet completely severed delusions. His belief in truth as actual cause and effect is so strong that he is willing to sacrifice his own life and fortune in order to eliminate the cause of suffering and to reach the extinction of suffering.
