Sengliang states: 'Enters' means accords with. It classifies the minor and grave of offenses, and the shallow and profound of obstacles to the path. 'The profound sūtras and wholesome meanings, and impure causes and conditions': its essence being not pure, it can generate impurity; like eating at improper times, all should be prevented. Sengzong states: This explains the word 'Vinaya.' The texts of the five divisions of the Vinaya are what is clarified by the Precept Sūtra; hiding the subtle makes it profound, not transgressing the intention of the institutions. Body and speech are in accord with Dharma, hence it is said to 'enter.' Being contrary to evil, it is called 'wholesome meanings.' Preventing the receiving of the impure refers to the one hundred impure items.
