4.102

Regarding "incalculable": because it is the merit of markless giving, it is incalculable. In the metaphor, the east is the foremost of all directions, so it is clarified first; south, west, and north are exemplified in order. Both the dharma and the metaphor are equally incalculable. The intention is: it does not mean there is no space; this relative space holds its meaning within the application of the metaphor.
