This is the Dharma-rain of converging the three into the one, causing those who seek the causes of the Buddha-Way to be satisfied, and even converging all to make them satisfied. If it is the Dharma-rain of opening the proximate and revealing the distant, it causes those who seek the fruits of the Buddha-Way to be satisfied. The text says: 'If any of those people seeking the three vehicles / have doubts or regrets, / the Buddha will sever and remove them / so that none remain without remainder.' It also says: 'After a long time, the Dharma of all Buddhas / must ultimately expound the real.' This means severing the doubts of the three vehicles, five vehicles, seven expedient means, nine dharma realms, and so forth, causing them all to generate faith. This proves the function of the sūtra. - [Previous: 1.48](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.1.48) - [Next: 1.50](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.1.50) - [Up: 1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.1) ## Linked texts (1) - [妙法蓮華經玄義](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.1.49) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.1.49](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716~en-mt.1.49) · Pramāṇa
