8.57

Answer: The teachings apply commonly to a single person and to multiple persons. There can be a single person who fully receives the three of demonstration, exhortation, and realization; and there can be people of three capacities who, receiving the three, each attain awakening. If one discusses the twelve practices in terms of the path of seeing the truths, it must refer to three persons: a person of sharp faculties engenders eye, knowledge, clarity, and awakening upon hearing the turning of demonstration and thus attains the seeing of the truths; medium and lower are likewise. Because the three persons are brought together, one speaks of the twelve practices.
