2.14

This single dharma realm possesses ten suchnesses; the ten dharma realms possess one hundred suchnesses. Furthermore, since one dharma realm possesses nine dharma realms, there are then one hundred dharma realms and one thousand suchnesses. Grouping them into five distinctions: first, evil; second, good; third, the two vehicles; fourth, bodhisattvas; fifth, buddhas. Determining them as two dharmas: the first four are provisional dharmas, and the latter one is the real dharma. Discussed in detail, each possesses both provisional and real, but for now we rely on these two meanings.
