Fourth, regarding differentiation by the knowledge of all aspects: this is the ninth, termed the 'manifold contemplation', meaning that the marks of the three existences differ into many categories and forms, hence termed 'manifold'. Below 'conforming', it explains and manifests its marks. This is the conventional realm of the three existences; great knowledge illuminates this, and therefore takes it as a gate. Above, the separate explanation of the ten gates is completed. Second, below 'such reverse and forward', it summarizes the ten chapters. Since it says 'ten kinds of reverse and forward', one clearly knows that within all the preceding ten gates there are reverse and forward. In the preceding text where reverse contemplation is absent, it was abbreviated. 1. The array of branches of existence, 2. subsumption into one mind, 3. power and function mutually producing, 4. anterior and posterior mutually belonging, 5. the wheel of the three paths revolving, 6. causes and fruits of the three periods of time, 7. faults of the three sufferings, 8. lacking self-nature through causes, 9. seeming to exist yet being as if nonexistent, and 10. eradicating into equality: matching and concluding with the preceding ten passages, all can be seen. The explanation of the practice of the non-abiding path is concluded.
