"At that time Mañjuśrī said to the Bodhisattva Maitreya": from here down to the end of the chapter is the fifth [section], the prologue to answering the question. There are also two sections: First, up to forty-three verses is the formal answer. Second, the two verses below "All of you should now know, / join your palms and wait single-mindedly" are designated as inspiring the minds of beings and concluding the answer. Furthermore, within each of these two sections, it divides into two. In the formal answer there are two parts: the first is the prose, and the second is the verse. In inspiring [beings] and concluding the answer there are two parts: the first verse clarifies that good things will come, which is revealing the One and revealing the remote; the second verse clarifies that bad things will leave, which is opening the three and opening the near. One cannot but concentrate one's mind and look up with devotion, hoping to hear the sublime exposition.
