25.36

Regarding the Commentary's statement, "Second, explaining the title": the text of the Commentary has four parts: first, explaining "world"; second, explaining "formation"; third, matching the six compound analyses; fourth, matching the Sanskrit text. Now, the first has two explanations: first, explaining "world" (shì) by destruction; second, explaining "world" (shì) by concealment. If one only adopted the former interpretation, it would make the Lotus Treasury realm something destructible. Now, providing this [second] interpretation makes the Lotus Treasury realm arise from the unconditioned, identical with the true ultimate and indestructible. From "Therefore, eliciting the Sahā [world]" downward, both senses are shown not to depart from the meaning of concealment. In the Commentary, from "formation" downward, it explains the word "formation." The conditions that are able to form encompass both cause and fruit. The causal conditions for origination are the essential nature of the cause; because matters such as abiding and dwelling are all the fruit, it comprehensively possesses ten gates in which worlds are established.
