Ninth, "pervasiveness of making offerings," in two parts: first, presenting the outline. Second, from "Huayan" down, explaining in sequence, in two parts: first, explaining phenomenal offerings. Partial realization of the three thousand is the root of phenomena. The six dusts of the ten directions are the functions of principle. Regarding "offering up to the Buddhas," this signifies proceeding from cause toward fruit. Second, from "understanding of principle" down, explaining offerings of principle, in two parts: first, the main explanation. The myriad practices perfuming wisdom is called offering to the Buddhas. Because wisdom is endowed with three [kinds], it is called "all." This wisdom is the very direct substance of all Buddhas of the ten directions and three periods, and is again called "all." Second, from "Jingming" down, citing proof. Food is identical to the three truths and can activate the three wisdoms; the Buddha of principle and the Buddha of phenomena are both nourished and both offered to.
