The commentary states: 'Intrinsic purity is named the nature of original awakening' refers to suchness. Relying on the Awakening of Faith, the upper line is absolute and the lower line is relative: it is named 'original awakening' in contrast to non-awakening and so forth. Regarding 'which is the all-knowledge of the Buddhas', this has two meanings. Some say: suchness is the Buddha's Dharmakāya; the Dharmakāya and the cognition-body are equal in nature and characteristics, and substance and characteristics follow each other, so it can also be named all-knowledge, though in reality it is not cognition. Others say: suchness is precisely all-knowledge. When the mind returns to its original source, it unites subtly without difference, and characteristics and functions are not without separate substance. Thus it takes suchness to be all-knowledge, because both cognitions and both bodies correspond completely. The second major section concludes the cultivation of the various kṣāntis.
