答：過去益物上根人，現在益物為中下根人，三根眾生於二世皆領悟也。所以文中正明二世益物、不正明未來益物者，為化三根人盡也。若未來益物者，更餘緣耳。

Answer: Benefiting beings in the past was for people of superior capacity; benefiting beings in the present was for people of middling and inferior capacities; the sentient beings of the three capacities all attain awakening in these two times. The reason why the text primarily clarifies benefiting beings in two times and does not primarily clarify benefiting beings in the future is that transforming the people of the three capacities is exhausted. If there is benefiting beings in the future, it is further due to other conditions.
