3.35

言「彼明此相」者,彼謂彼土,彼所現相故云此相,雖復種種,同至法華無復餘相,但未見法華座席以入滅表之,故但云「一因一緣」等。言「一因」等者,亦是彼土法華已前得云種種,既會入實,同一因緣相貌等也,此是感應等相。

Regarding "that clarifies this form": "that" refers to that land; because it is the form manifested by that [land], it says "this form"; although again various, all equally arriving at the Lotus there are no further remaining forms; but not yet seeing the seats of the Lotus assembly, it is signified by entering extinction; hence it merely says "one cause and one condition," and so forth. Saying "one cause," and so forth, is also because prior to the Lotus in that land they may be called various; once converged and entered into the real, they are identical in one causal condition, form, and so forth; these are the characteristics of stimulus and response, and so forth.
