It also signifies containing and encompassing fruitional dharmas that are bound to blossom open, hence the name. The qualities of the fruition are boundless; three hundred and twenty gates are briefly used to answer the previous questions. Therein, the first ten gates set forth the theme as a brief reply, and the latter three hundred and ten extensively clarify according to their meanings. Within the former, the first phrase, the pure and wondrous place of abiding, answers the previous question on the \[buddha-\]kṣetra. The second, abiding in immeasurable mastery, answers the two questions on pure vows and lineage, because both are that upon which the Buddha's emergence relies, hence termed 'mastery.' The third, appearing in response to capacities without missing the proper time, answers the previous question on the Buddha's emergence. The fourth, the wheel of Dharma, and the fifth, the four unhindered eloquences, answer the question on voice. The sixth, inconceivable dharmas, answers the three questions on spiritual power, unimpeded abiding, and liberation. The seventh, pure voice, reiterates the scope of the previous voice. The eighth, distinguishing the dharmadhātu, answers the previous question on wisdom. The ninth, illumination of light, answers the question on physical karma. The tenth also reveals that what is spoken by vocal karma is extremely profound. Another explanation: these ten comprehensively clarify the Tathāgata accomplishing deeds in response to capacities: 1. Clearly reveals the Buddha's own abiding in the true principle; 2. Clarifies that he is not stuck in quiescence, hence called mastery; 3. Not only internally not stuck in quiescence, but also externally responding without error. 4. Responding to capacities without missing, what kind of deeds does he perform? Namely, turning the wheel of Dharma. 5. By what means does he turn it? Namely, the four unhindered eloquences. 6. What Dharma does he teach? Namely, the inconceivable Dharma. 7. How far does the capacity to turn reach? Namely, nowhere does it not reach. The former eloquent exposition is inexhaustible, exhausting all times; this clarifies that the voice pervades all places. 8. How much is the Dharma turned? Namely, the immeasurable dharmadhātu. The former 'inconceivable Dharma' reveals depth; the 'immeasurable' here clarifies breadth. 9. Vocal function being thus, what about physical function? Namely, light shining universally, extinguishing painful retributions, eradicating evil karma, alerting various capacities to cause them to enter the Dharma, and so forth. 10. Verbal teachings are identical with principle, hence it says 'entering the dharmadhātu.' Furthermore, preaching the Dharma in accordance with capacities causes all to realize the truth, hence it says 'entering the dharmadhātu,' for there is ultimately none that does not enter the profound Dharma. The final phrase concludes and returns \[to the theme\]. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 15.62](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15.62) - [Next: 15.64](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15.64) - [Up: 15](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733~en-mt.15.63) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15.63](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.15.63) · Pramāṇa
