The State of Tathatā Samādhi

"Does one, at all times and in all circumstances, perceive without obstruction through wisdom, with each thought perfectly penetrating, not seeing a single dharma that can create obstacles, and never even for a single moment experiencing interruption?" This is one of the ten criteria in The Record of the Mirror of the Source for verifying enlightenment. How should this statement be understood?

It should be understood like this: After enlightenment, a Bodhisattva, in all activities within the world of the five aggregates, at all times, and regarding all dharmas, is able to observe that they are all functions and operations of the eighth consciousness. There is no independent function of the five aggregates themselves; it is all the functioning of the true suchness of the self-nature. The mind does not fall into the false appearances of the world of the five aggregates. This level of wisdom is extremely profound, reaching the patient endurance of the non-arising [of dharmas] of the First Bhūmi and above, partially realizing the single true Dharma-realm. One attains the realization that all dharmas, worldly and beyond, are entirely the functioning of the eighth consciousness; all are the operation of the eighth consciousness. Without profound wisdom of specific discernment (pratisamvid) in the Vijñānavāda (Consciousness-Only) tradition, it would be impossible to observe with such subtlety, thoroughness, and depth. This is the true Suchness Samādhi. The Buddhas have fully realized Suchness Samādhi, while Bodhisattvas on the Bhūmis only partially realize Suchness Samādhi and cannot attain complete Suchness Samādhi because they have not yet realized many dharmas, and some dharmas still fall within the appearance of the worldly realm.
