妙法蓮華經玄贊 9.56

9.56

Taking refuge specifically in those closest does not necessarily require universally paying homage to all; paying homage to those adjacent does not require universally paying homage to the emanated bodies. Furthermore, it is easy to pay homage to those right in front, and difficult to pay refuge to those far away; therefore we know that when the Master from the Eastern Land specifically paid homage to the two sages, or when Avalokiteśvara presented the pearls dividing them into only two portions while the emanated bodies were still present, what error is there in this either?
