5.81

"The three periods of time, etc.": concluding by applying it generally to all buddhas. Because all buddhas share the same realization, there are ultimately not two sources; if one has not realized, that is that, but once realized, there is no difference. If one has not reached the ultimate stage and remains on the causal ground, whatever is preached has individual differences. Why is this? Because what is realized is not the same. Just as before the bhūmis, on the bhūmis, and across the ten bhūmis the gradations are different; for this reason, one who has attained the fruition definitely has no divergent preaching.
