如第一義非開示悟入,見此理時即證開示悟入,譬如種子得雨萌開,今聞大法雨,潤法性種,破無明糠,開於十住佛知見也,譬如吹䗍知是改號。今之與先已得十住,今從十住聞法更改入十行,示佛知見也,譬如擊鼓知是誡兵。今之與先已在十行,今從十行聞法誡入迴向,悟佛知見也。演之言布橫闊豎深,乃是演義。今之與先已在十向,今從十迴向入於十地,入佛知見,窮源盡邊,深廣備足也。惟昔六瑞已後即開示悟入,忖今瑞後亦應如是,橫豎釋惟忖答竟。
so too the paramārtha-satya is neither opening, demonstrating, awakening to, nor entering, yet upon seeing this principle one directly realizes opening, demonstrating, awakening to, and entering. For example, when a seed receives rain, it sprouts and opens; now, hearing the rain of the Great Dharma, it moistens the seed of the dharma-nature, breaks the husk of ignorance, and opens the Buddha knowledge and vision of the ten dwellings. For example, upon blowing the conch, one knows that titles are changed; those who have previously attained the ten dwellings now, from the ten dwellings, hear the Dharma and change anew to enter the ten practices, demonstrating the Buddha knowledge and vision. For example, upon beating the drum, one knows to caution the troops; those who are already in the ten practices now, from the ten practices, hear the Dharma and are cautioned to enter dedication, awakening to the Buddha knowledge and vision. To "expound" means to spread out; broad horizontally and deep vertically, this is expounding the meaning; those who are already in the ten dedications now, from the ten dedications, enter the ten grounds, entering the Buddha knowledge and vision, exhausting the source and reaching the utmost bounds, complete in depth and breadth. Reflecting that in the past, after the six portents, there was immediately opening, demonstrating, awakening to, and entering; he ponders that now, after the portents, it should likewise be so. This concludes the horizontal and vertical explanation of the response by reflection.
