6.16

Answer: "There is an 'everything' of particular characteristics and an 'everything' of universal characteristics; here it refers to an 'everything' of particular characteristics. Some say: 'The Buddha was capable of teaching everything, but sentient beings were unable to receive it all. It is not that the Buddha was unable to teach it.' Some say: 'One should say that he knew everything, and simply say that he taught; one cannot say that he taught everything.'"
