2.22

On the passage from "Vast and universal quiescence and concentration" to "the bodhisattva dharma-store": The commentary states: This is the third, the vastness of what is realized. The 'dharma-store' is the hundred thousand aggregates of dharma. To distinguish it from the store of the two vehicles, it is called 'bodhisattva'. This is the depth of what is realized. Some say: Universal concentration can realize vastness, because among all dharmas one does not arouse false thoughts. The store is the depth of what is realized, because one can deeply enter the true dharma-store. If so, this would contradict their own accepted nominal definitions of the deep and vast nature of what is realized.
