六种住

The six Bodhisattva-stages in the <Bodhisattva-bhumi sutra> 菩薩地持經 are:

(1) 種性住 the attainment of the Buddha-seed nature in the 十住;

(2) 解行住 of discernment and practice in the 十行 and 十廻向;

(3) 淨心住 of purity by attaining reality in the 初地見道;

(4) 行道迹住 of progress in riddance of incorrect thinking, in the 二地 to the 七地;

(5) 決定住 of powers of correct decision and judgment in the eighth and ninth 地;

(6) 究竟住 of the perfect Bodhisattva stage in the tenth 地 and the 等覺位, but not including the 妙覺位 which is the Buddha-stage.
