(94)Understanding all the themes of the sutra and tantra collections—This is the treasure of realization.Never forgetting any detail from one’s studies—This is the treasure of retention. (95)Satisfying all beings with excellent explanations—This is the treasure of confidence.Safeguarding the precious treasury of sacred teachings—This is the treasure of Dharma. (96)Not severing the continuous line of the Three Jewels—This is the treasure of bodhichitta.Gaining acceptance of the nature of equality beyond arising—This is the treasure of accomplishment. (97)
