27.27

Second, in distinguishing the fruits of the stages from "bodhisattva" below, there are four: presentation, interrogation, explanation, and conclusion. In the third there are ten phrases, all first presenting the name and later explaining the meaning. Therein, the first six are self-benefit. The first is seeing the Buddha, in terms of the subtle gate. The meaning of a single hair was frequently explained in the preceding text and is now expounded again: namely, the nature of the mind originally has neither small nor large; awakening to it becomes wisdom, and body and land are both reflections of wisdom; when wisdom is pure, reflections are bright, hence small and large are unobstructed, and the one and the many are immediately interpenetrating. The next five are seeing the Dharma, which is the gate of mutual entering: first, realizing the noumenal Dharma; second, upholding the scriptural Dharma; third, wisdom knowing hidden intentions, meaning using the real to conceal the provisional and so forth; fourth, the meaning exhausting intentionalities, meaning the four intentionalities and so forth, which is also exhausting nature and marks; fifth, hearing the treasury of meanings including both cultivation and realization. The next three are benefiting others: first, merit fulfilling others' wishes; second, wisdom destroying others' delusions; third, eloquence teaching equanimity. The last one gathers practice into the fruit. Many of the above are identical to the "Ten Treasuries" chapter and can be grasped in meaning. The fourth, the conclusion, can be understood.
