Regarding the eighth vow: The commentary's "first, gathering together good fortune and goodness": roots of goodness are good fortune, free from resentment and envy, which is the characteristic of having the same mind. "Cognition and contemplation being uniform": because of the non-duality of tathatā, and because of sharing the three truths. The commentary's "manifesting bodies according to will" extends to both other-enjoyment and transformation. Regarding the commentary's "not relying on others" downward: the sūtra states, "yielding to one's own mind, capable of knowing all realms of the Tathāgatas," which is the path of realization. Power and wisdom belong to the bodhisattva's path of instruction; this is from the perspective of the knower. If considered from the perspective of what is known, power is the function of the Buddha's path of instruction, and wisdom is the virtue of the Buddha's path of realization. With respect to the bodhisattva, realizing and knowing the Buddha's realm: the realm is tathatā, which is the object known; power and wisdom belong to the Buddha, being the realm of delineation.
