觀音玄義 2.15

2.15

二別釋普門者，至理非數，赴緣利物，或作一、二之名，或至無量，廣略宜然，且存中適十義：一慈悲普、二弘誓普、三修行普、四斷惑普、五入法門普、六神通普、七方便普、八說法普、九供養諸佛普、十成就眾生普。上過途普門已約法竟，此十普門皆約修行福德莊嚴，前五章是自行、次三章是化他、後二章結前兩意。自行中，前四是修因、後一是明果。修因又二：初二是願、後二是行。

Second, specifically explaining the universal gate: The ultimate principle is without number, but responding to conditions to benefit beings, it is given the name of one or two, or up to the immeasurable; extensive and concise are each appropriate, but for now we preserve the moderately fitting ten meanings: first, universality of benevolence and compassion; second, universality of the great vow; third, universality of practice; fourth, universality of severing delusions; fifth, universality of entering dharma-gates; sixth, universality of supernatural powers; seventh, universality of upāya; eighth, universality of expounding the Dharma; ninth, universality of making offerings to the Buddhas; tenth, universality of perfecting sentient beings. Above, the general universal gate has already been treated in terms of dharma; these ten universal gates are all treated in terms of the practice of merit and wisdom and adornment. The first five chapters are for self-benefit; the next three chapters are for transforming others; the last two chapters conclude the preceding two meanings. Within self-benefit, the first four are cultivating the cause, and the last one clarifies the fruit. Cultivating the cause also has two: the first two are vows, and the latter two are practice.
