30.39

Seventh, next, vowing that sentient beings become dharmabhāṇakas, which accomplishes the above acting as a guide. The guide is the dharmabhāṇaka; above it was acting as such for others, now it causes others to act as such. The Benevolent Kings Sūtra (Renwang jing) speaks of thirteen dharmabhāṇakas; after the Tathāgata's extinction, the ceaseless transmission and transformation is also called a dharmabhāṇaka. As in the Lotus Sūtra and Bodhisattvapiṭaka Sūtra, each has its chapter, but here it is mostly spoken of in terms of the utmost supreme. Within this, there are twenty dharmabhāṇakas. The seventh says "like an eye," because it is direct realization, not seeing through hearing. The ninth is the mark of marklessness, which is a wondrous mark. Twentieth, only preaching the Dharma can bring peace to the world.
