If existence is taken as the gate, one gate is itself three gates: before the gate, there are perfect introductions; within the gate, it expounds interfused and identical buddha wisdom, and even uses perfect similes; after the gate, it concludes with interfusion and identity. The other three gates are also like this; these are the characteristics of the perfect four gates. Furthermore, whether the distinctive gate expounds the perfect and the perfect gate expounds the distinctive, before or after, distinguishing the characteristics of distinctive and perfect is patterned on the above (and so forth). > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.20](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.20) - [Next: 9.22](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.22) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.9.21) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.21](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.9.21) · Pramāṇa
