6.397

The commentary says: This concludes the reception of the present obtaining. "What the Buddha's sons obtain" refers to the cause and fruition of the Single Vehicle obtained by bodhisattvas. Now, having heard the sūtra, we generate the mind to seek and pursue it; as with what they obtained, we have all already obtained it. Because it is definitely obtained, it is said that we "have all already obtained it". The former stage of initial aspiration of the bodhisattvas was like our present state today; since they ultimately obtained it, we will also do so; it is called having all already obtained it because the principle is not different.
