Second, explaining the number: that is, twelve thousand people. Regarding origin and traces: in their origin they were twelve thousand bodhisattvas, while in their traces they appeared as twelve thousand śrāvakas. Regarding contemplation: contemplating the twelve sense bases, one base possesses ten dharma realms, one realm again has ten realms, and each realm has ten suchnesses, which equals one thousand; since one sense base has one thousand, the twelve sense bases are twelve thousand dharma gates.
