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.
