Illumination Door of One Hundred Dharmas (百法明門).
A. According to the Sūtra of the Garland of a Bodhisattva’s Primary Karmas, the one hundred dharmas are the one hundred minds extended from the ten faithful minds, because each of the ten has its own ten levels. On the Bodhisattva Way, a Bodhisattva sage at the first level of abiding goes through this Dharma Door before ascending to next level (T24n1485, 1011c6–8). In addition, a holy Bodhisattva on the First Ground also goes through this Dharma Door before ascending to the next ground (ibid., 1014c24–25).
B. According to the Sūtra of Visualization of Amitāyus Buddha (T12n0365), one goes through this Dharma Door to ascend to the First Ground. The one hundred dharmas, though not explained in this sūtra, are likely to be the same as those in the Garland Sūtra.
C. Asaṅga (無著, circa 4th century), in his Treatise on the Yoga Teacher Ground (Yogācārya-bhūmi-śāstra, T30n1579), classifies all dharmas, saṁskṛta and asaṁskṛta, into a total of 660. His younger brother Vasubandhu (世親, circa 320–80) condenses them into 100, in his Mahāyāna Treatise on the Illumination Door of One Hundred Dharmas (T31n1614).
