1.22

Second, under "Second, in terms of," clarifying the sequential order of the teachings, [in] two: first, stating the chapter and establishing the headings. Second, under "General meaning," explaining the meaning according to the headings, [in] two: first, the general. In the five periods and four teachings, the ten can each be discussed; established in accordance with the meaning of the Dharma, they cannot be exhaustively probed. Taking for instance the Tripiṭaka's establishment of the ten pairs: person and Dharma is gathering the aggregates to form a person and the truths, conditions, and perfections as Dharma; loving-kindness and compassion is conditions based on Dharma for śrāvakas and conditions based on beings for bodhisattvas; merit and wisdom is the three trainings for śrāvakas and the six perfections for bodhisattvas; true and responsive is the fivefold Dharma body and intentional, penetrating responses; medicine and jewel is curing the disease of the four entrenchments and raining the jewels of the three vehicles; unmanifest and manifest is sentient beings obtaining benefit with seeing/hearing or without seeing/hearing; provisional and real is the real that accords with truth and the provisional that accords with sentiments; original and trace is the origin of self-realization and manifestation as trace; conditional and revealing is a single phrase as the revealing cause and slight goodness as the conditional seed; wisdom and severance is the four fruits of śrāvakas and the bodhisattva's sudden completion. If even the Tripiṭaka possesses them fully, the shared and distinctive can be known.
