Third, in terms of the four gates of the perfect teaching horizontally interpreting the four phrases: The gate of emptiness—one being empty, all are empty—opens the Buddha's knowledge and vision. The gate of existence—one existing, all exist—demonstrates the Buddha's knowledge and vision. The gate of both emptiness and existence—all being both empty and existent—awakens to the Buddha's knowledge and vision. The gate of neither emptiness nor existence—all being neither empty nor existent—enters the Buddha's knowledge and vision. The gates that can penetrate are four, but that which is penetrated is one: opening, demonstrating, awakening to, and entering are the gates that can penetrate; that which is known and seen is the principle that is penetrated.
