19.19

Fourth, under “The elder answered,” showing his own dharmadhātu: first, bringing forth the mind. Second, under “Good man, do you see my…,” embracing the retinue through Dharma and causing them to accomplish ten kinds of benefaction, which may be understood. Third, designating his own Dharma-gate: meaning inexhaustible wealth and Dharma stored in empty space, distributed as desired, hence it is taken as the name. Fourth, under “In accordance with what they require,” explaining the karmic function of the Dharma-gate: first, generally presenting the wish-fulfilling benefit to sentient beings from the jewel treasury of merit; second, under “Wait a moment,” presenting events to verify completion: first seeing the assembly gather; next observing empty space raining objects, which is identical to the samādhi of shattering the vessel of empty space, properly attained in the ten practices; afterward conferring the Dharma to cause them to rejoice. Fifth, concluding his own Dharma-gate.
