1.29

二攝前後者，有三重：一於此二七之時，即攝八會同時而說。若爾，何故會有前後？謂如印文，讀時前後，印紙同時。問：若爾，云何重會得成？答：重亦同時，以無礙故，如燈光相入等。餘不動昇天等，准釋可知。二即此時攝彼前後各無量劫無不皆盡，以是不思議解脫時故。三攝於重重無量念劫，如因陀羅網重重收攝故。

Second, subsuming the earlier and the later has three tiers: First, at this time of the second seven days, it directly subsumes the eight assemblies as spoken simultaneously. If so, why are there earlier and later assemblies? It is, for example, like an inscribed seal: when read, there is earlier and later, but the seal's imprint upon the paper is simultaneous. Question: If so, how can repeated assemblies be established? Answer: The repeated [assemblies] are also simultaneous, because there is no obstruction, just as the lights of lamps interpenetrate one another. The rest, such as ascending to the heavens without moving [from the tree], can be understood according to this explanation. Second, this very time subsumes all the immeasurable kalpas before and after it without exception, because it is the time of inconceivable liberation. Third, it subsumes layered and immeasurable thought-moments and kalpas, just as Indrajāla subsumes in multiple layers.
