Commentary: The second is the gate of the four truths. "It exists because causes assemble" is the truth of origin; it is the cause of saṃsāra. "It exists because fruits assemble" is the truth of suffering; it is the fruit of saṃsāra. "It exists because of the ten practices" is the truth of the path; it is the cause of nirvāṇa. That is, from the ten faiths up to the ten bhūmis, the five kinds of ten practices are all named the truth of the path. This is unlike the Sarvāstivāda school, where only from the patience of suffering upward is it named the truth of the path, because provisions and application are subsumed under the truth of the path. "It exists because of the Buddha-fruit" refers to bodhi and nirvāṇa. Bodhi is one part of the truth of the path; nirvāṇa is properly subsumed under the truth of cessation.
