The above constitutes the first part, in which the Buddha's teaching guides entry. Next is the second part, in which Kāśyapa practices accordingly and the Tathāgata confirms and praises him. In this there are four sections: first, Kāśyapa reveals that he already understood before, explaining his current practice; second, the Tathāgata confirms and encourages him; third, Kāśyapa praises the profundity; fourth, the Tathāgata confirms and praises him. In the first section there are four parts: first, Kāśyapa reveals that he knew it himself and was asking for the sake of others; second, from 'wishing to cause the Tathāgata' onward, he explains his purpose in asking and rejoices in receiving the Buddha's answer; third, from 'I also abide' onward, he explains his own practice and expounding it in turn to others; fourth, from 'will also witness' onward, he explains his own realization and in turn encourages others.
