Among the preceding persons and phenomena, there is none that is not subsumed under the buddha-fruition; that is, the mastery of the dharmadhātu manifested by the Tathāgata's lion-stretch samādhi. Furthermore, among the preceding persons and phenomena, there is none that does not belong to and is not subsumed by the causal stage; that is, the dharmas and gates of the dharmadhātu manifested by Mañjuśrī and Samantabhadra. Subdividing this causal stage, there are five: namely, the dharmadhātus of the five stages beginning with faith; they can be understood through their corresponding subsumption. Second, explaining the entering capacities: by standard of the text, there are also two: in relation to the preceding fruition stage, it explains that the bodhisattvas enter the dharmadhātu suddenly; in relation to the preceding causal stage, it metaphorically manifests Sudhana entering the dharmadhātu gradually. Since cause and fruition are unobstructed, the gradual and the sudden are also perfectly interpenetrating; it is merely to lay out the teaching to construct an explanation that these stage distinctions are metaphorically employed. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 18.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18.8) - [Next: 18.10](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18.10) - [Up: 18](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733~en-mt.18.9) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (1) - [大方廣佛華嚴經疏](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1735.54.11) — Classical Chinese --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1733.18.9) · Pramāṇa
