For those who formed connections through non-arising in the past, some have attained the Way and some have not. The Buddha appears as a buddha in fragmented [birth and death]. For those who have not attained the Way, there is retributive birth right in this place; descending from the higher realms, there are both volitional and supernormal births. Distinguishing volitional and supernormal is as explained before. For those coming horizontally from other lands, there are volitional and supernormal [births]; for those coming vertically from [the land of] expedients, there are also volitional and supernormal [births]. In the shared teaching, since the dharma-kāya has not yet been attained, there are no responsive kin.
