Next, opening the divisions of the text: from this chapter onward up to the gāthās assessing merits in the "Distinction of Merits Chapter", the fifteen and a half chapters of the sūtra are called the central exposition. Broadly divided into two, there are ten kinds overall: First, from the first chapter up to the "Dharma Master Chapter", there are nine chapters in all, clarifying upāya of the vehicle and the real of the vehicle; next, after the "Jeweled Stūpa Chapter" has ended, there are six and a half chapters of the sūtra, clarifying upāya of the body and the real of the body. The triyāna of former days refers to upāya of the vehicle; now clarifying the ekayāna refers to the real of the vehicle. The body of arising and ceasing of former days refers to upāya of the body; now the body without arising and ceasing refers to the real of the body.
