金剛三昧經論 1.43

1.43

The treatise says: This is the second [part], properly requesting the proclamation. "Proclaim the single taste" requests the preaching of the taste of the definitive meaning of the single awakening. "Determinate reality" requests the preaching of the contemplation entering the real character of dharmas. "So that those sentient beings may equally attain the same liberation" means causing those sentient beings in the final period of the semblance Dharma to share equally in the ultimate liberation of the single taste. From this perspective, teachings have four alternatives: first, primarily transforming the correct Dharma while secondarily benefiting the later era, referring to the earlier sūtras, and so forth; second, primarily transforming the semblance Dharma while secondarily benefiting the earlier era, referring to this sūtra, and so forth; third, transforming both earlier and later in common, referring to various other sūtras, and so forth; fourth, benefiting neither earlier nor later, excluding the teachings mentioned above.
