8.33

「又善男子諸佛如來法皆如是」下,法說中本有四,此下是第四,明如來通三世隱顯益物不虛妄。亦有三段者,第一「諸佛如來法皆如是」者,先會諸佛道同;第二「為度眾生」此一句明諸佛施教意,正明諸佛三世言教皆為度脫眾生故;第三言「皆實不虛」此一句正明不虛也。

From 'Furthermore, good sons! The dharma of the Buddha-Tathāgatas is entirely like this' downward: within the exposition by dharma there were originally four [sections]; this downward is the fourth, explaining that the Tathāgata's concealing and revealing across the three times to benefit beings is not false. It also has three sections: first, 'The dharma of the Buddha-Tathāgatas is entirely like this' first brings together the identity of the path of all Buddhas; second, this single line, 'for liberating living beings,' explains the intention of all Buddhas in bestowing teachings, directly explaining that the spoken teachings of all Buddhas across the three times are entirely for the sake of liberating living beings; third, saying 'all are true and not empty,' this single line directly explains that they are not empty.
