2.106

Third, from "Great King" onwards, clarifies the five eyes of the Buddhas and bodhisattvas, also termed conventional truth. The text states: "If a bodhisattva views the illusions and transformations of sentient beings as described above, like flowers in the sky": sentient beings are fundamentally non-existent, yet exist through falsity, like flowers in the sky. "The Buddhas, with their five eyes, see them in accordance with the truth of illusion": knowing in accordance with the objective sphere, knowing and illuminating in accordance with the principle, conditioning and contemplation both combined; therefore it is said to be "like this." From "At that time, immeasurable..." onwards is the third major section within the answer to the question: hearing the Dharma and obtaining benefits. First, from "the devaputras" onwards, clarifies the persons who attained the path. From "patience of subduing" onwards, clarifies the differences in benefits attained. The three worthies before the grounds are called the patience of subduing; the patience of emptiness refers to being in accord with signless emptiness from the fourth ground upwards; from the seventh ground upwards is called the patience of non-arising; the patience of faith on the first three grounds is omitted and not mentioned. The first ground is called the "one ground," up to the Cloud of Dharma which is called the "tenth ground." Vast as empty space, they are called "inconceivable virtuous practices."
