At that time, the youth Sudhana descended from the heavenly palace and made his way to the city of Kapilavastu. He approached the youth skilled in all arts, paid his respects at his feet, and stood to one side, saying, "Noble one! I have already awakened the mind of supreme enlightenment, yet I do not know how a bodhisattva learns the bodhisattva path or cultivates the bodhisattva practice. I have heard that you, noble one, are skilled in teaching and guiding, so I beg you to explain this to me." The youth then said to Sudhana, "Good man, I have attained the bodhisattva liberation known as 'Skill in All Arts.' I constantly uphold the foundational syllables of this liberation in my practice."
