六所成法則同者，十信十住五位六位菩薩行門，十方世界同施設故，十方世界古今諸佛同此法故，頓示因果在剎那中。其法無來，無前後故。非同權教因前果後故，十地位終方始見性，地前菩薩是凡夫故。設有地前成佛者，推為誓願力能，非本法故。或推地上菩薩引諸凡夫起勝行故，非論本法本來佛故。此《華嚴經》所施法則，直論根本智佛自乘門，不論權教開三乘門設多劫故。直明眾生本來自體無作者故，性本自法界真佛智慧故，以為所乘也。

> Sixth, 'identity of the established principles': because the practice-entrances of the bodhisattvas of the ten faiths, ten abodes, five stages, and six stages are identically established throughout the worlds of the ten directions; because the buddhas of past and present in the worlds of the ten directions share this Dharma; they suddenly reveal cause and effect within a single kṣaṇa. That Dharma has no coming, and no before or after. It is not like the provisional teaching where the cause precedes and the fruit succeeds, where one first begins to see the nature only when the stages of the ten grounds are completed, and bodhisattvas before the grounds are ordinary persons. Even if someone before the grounds becomes a buddha, it is attributed to the power of their vows and not to the fundamental Dharma. Or it is attributed to a bodhisattva above the grounds leading ordinary persons to arouse superior practices, not discussing that the fundamental Dharma is fundamentally the Buddha. The principle established in this Avataṃsaka Sūtra directly discusses the entrance of the Buddha's own vehicle of fundamental wisdom, without discussing the opening of the Three Vehicle entrances or the establishing of many kalpas in the provisional teachings. It directly clarifies that sentient beings fundamentally have no creator in their own essence, and that their nature is fundamentally the true Buddha-wisdom of the dharmadhātu, taking this as that which is ridden.
