16.30

七因果門者,問:菩薩善根亦順性而起,何故下文唯辨佛果?答:以未圓故不辨耳。若約為性起因義及眷屬義,皆性起攝,如下文「藥樹王生牙時,一切樹同生」等。若從此義,初發菩提心已去皆性起攝,唯除凡小,以二處不生牙故。若據為緣令彼生善,亦性起攝,如日照生盲等。

Seventh, the section on cause and effect: Question: Bodhisattvas' roots of goodness also arise according with the nature; why does the text below solely discern the Buddha-fruit? Answer: Because it is not yet complete, it is not discerned. If considered in terms of being the cause of nature manifestation and being its retinue, they are all subsumed under nature manifestation, as in the text below: "When the king of medicinal trees sprouts, all trees sprout together," and so forth. If according to this meaning, from the initial generation of the bodhi-mind onward, all are subsumed under nature manifestation, excluding only ordinary beings and Hinayānists, because sprouts do not grow in these two places. If based on serving as conditions to cause them to produce goodness, they are also subsumed under nature manifestation, like the sun shining on the congenitally blind.
