As for the ten wonders of the Original Gate they involve the causes and effects of buddhahood from the perspective of the Eternal Buddha and are as follows:

1. The Wonder of Original Cause: The Eternal Buddha’s practice of the bodhisattva path occurred in the incalculably remote past and thereby puts the previous wonders of knowledges, practices, and stages of the Trace Gate in a timeless perspective.
2. The Wonder of Original Effect: Likewise the Eternal Buddha’s attainment of buddhahood occurred in the remote past, and thus the wonder of the threefold Dharma is put into this timeless perspective.
3. The Wonder of the Original Land: Since the time of the Eternal Buddha’s attainment of buddhahood in the remote past he has remained in this world of Endurance (Skt. sahā) teaching sentient beings. This world is, therefore, the true Pure Land of Eternally Tranquil Light of the Eternal Buddha.
4. The Wonder of Original Receptivity and Response: The wonder of receptivity and response is now shown to have begun in the remote past.
5. The Wonder of Original Supernatural Powers: The wonder of the Eternal Buddha’s use of supernatural powers is now shown to have begun in the remote past.
6. The Wonder of the Original Expounding of the Dharma: The wonder of the Eternal Buddha’s expounding of the Dharma is now shown to have begun in the remote past.
7. The Wonder of Original Attendants: The wonder of the Eternal Buddha’s relationship with sentient beings and fostering of bodhisattvas is now shown to have begun in the remote past.
8. The Wonder of the Original Nirvāṇa: This is the wonder of the Eternal Buddha’s actual abiding in nirvāṇa since the remote past, though he repeatedly displays the attainment of nirvāṇa with remainder (the extinction of greed, hatred, and delusion in life) and final nirvāṇa or nirvāṇa without remainder (physical extinction) in order to inspire sentient beings.
9. The Wonder of the Original Lifespan: This is the wonder of the Eternal Buddha’s unborn and deathless lifespan, though he takes on various transient lives in the world in order to teach, guide, and inspire sentient beings.
10. The Wonder of Original Benefits: The wonder of the Eternal Buddha’s merit and beneficial influence on sentient beings is now shown to have begun in the remote past.
