3.22

Tenth, as for Dharma Master Yin of Jiangnan of the Tang dynasty establishing two teachings: first, the sūtras of Śākyamuni, named the circuitous teaching, because they were expounded according to the capacities and conforming to assumptions; second, the Buddhāvataṃsaka Sūtra, the equal teaching of the ten bodies of Rocana. That Dharma master established two teachings, which briefly have four distinctions: first, difference in lord, meaning the former was spoken by Śākyamuni's nirmāṇakāya, while this was spoken by Rocana's ten bodies; second, difference in place, meaning the former was spoken under a wooden tree upon a grass seat in the sahā world, while this was spoken under a jeweled tree upon a golden seat in the Lotus Store World; third, difference in assembly, meaning the former was spoken to śrāvakas and bodhisattvas, while this was spoken exclusively to bodhisattvas of the ultimate stage together; fourth, difference in preaching, meaning the former was merely expounded in a single direction, while this must be expounded simultaneously in the ten directions, as expounded in the Buddhāvataṃsaka Sūtra.
