36.23

Regarding the Commentary's statement from 'Furthermore, having earlier said that the nature of visible form is difficult to conceive' onward: this is the fifth part, displaying its comprehensive subsumption. Within this there are also two parts: first, gathering dhāraṇīs and so forth to harmonize with the Buddha Names Sūtra; second, harmonizing with the Dazhidulun in terms of the three contemplations. In the first part, the twelve sense bases, in terms of their comprehensive subsumption, are all called dhāraṇīs; in terms of their nature being empty and ultimate, are all called pāramitās; in terms of their nature being fundamentally pure, are all gates of liberation; and in terms of the nature of awareness being completely luminous, all obtain the name of Buddha. Thus the Buddha Names Sūtra says: 'Eye Dhāraṇī Sovereign Buddha, up to Mind Dhāraṇī Sovereign Buddha; Form Dhāraṇī Sovereign Buddha, up to Dharma Dhāraṇī Sovereign Buddha,' and so forth.
