The Eulogy says: Below, the Tathāgata gives his answer. It has four parts: first, recounting the time; second, clarifying the buddha; third, showing the cultivation; fourth, reconciling the past and the present. This comprises the first two. Concerning the buddha, there are seven points: first, his name; second, his retinue; third, his lifespan; fourth, the absence of evil; fifth, the features of the buddha-field; sixth, the adorned terraces and trees; seventh, the sūtras and teachings expounded.
