3.35
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.
