19.39

第四授己法界中五：初示己法門，謂慈勝出，離染圓滿，備故以為名。二「我於」下明得法因緣，謂於多佛所聞此法。觀察者，思惠故。清淨者，思己明淨故。修習者，修惠故。莊嚴者，證得故。三「我住此」下顯法門業用，於中四：初以法攝生，謂授法令得慈心等益；二「我以如是」下以財益物；三隨行異見；四「為我宿世」下簡定機器。四「此城眾生」下明慈定功力中二：初說彼定用；二「且待」下對現其用，於中先入定、後顯用，情與非常咸成勝益。五結己自分。

Fourth, in bestowing his own dharmadhātu, there are five parts: First, showing his own dharma-gate, meaning that compassion is superior and preeminent, free from defilement and complete; it is named after its completeness. Second, from 'I, at...' downward explains the causes and conditions for obtaining the Dharma, meaning he heard this Dharma in the presence of many Buddhas. 'Contemplating' is due to the wisdom of reflection. 'Purifying' is because one's reflection is luminous and pure. 'Cultivating' is due to the wisdom of cultivation. 'Adorning' is due to experiential realization. Third, from 'I, abiding in this...' downward reveals the karmic functions of the dharma-gate, within which are four points: (1) gathering beings through the Dharma, meaning bestowing the Dharma so they obtain benefits such as a compassionate mind; (2) from 'I, with such...' downward, benefiting beings through material goods; (3) differing sights according to practice; (4) from 'Those who, in my past lives...' downward selects and defines the suitable vessels. Fourth, from 'The living beings of this city...' downward explains the power of the samādhi of compassion, in two parts: first, stating that samādhi's function; second, from 'Wait a moment...' downward manifests its function in person, within which he first enters samādhi and later reveals the function, where both sentient beings and insentient things achieve superior benefit. Fifth, concluding his own assigned level.
