6.61

Having extensively explained above, below it summarizes them: "Knowing has eight kinds" reiterates what was known above; seeing was also present above, but it briefly mentions knowing here; "these are known by the Tathāgata's five eyes" sums up and unites them with the other virtues: the earlier seeing men, women, and so forth in accordance with worldly words is the flesh eye; the earlier seeing the creation of good and evil and experiencing suffering and bliss with the divine eye is the divine eye; the earlier not seeing men, women, houses, carts, and what is given in accordance with holy words is the wisdom eye; the earlier discerning and knowing sentient beings' minds, faculties, dhyānas, and vehicles by seeing actions, conditions, permanence, impermanence, suffering, bliss, and so forth—all such as these are the dharma eye; the earlier knowing the Tathāgata's dharmakāya and buddha-nature is the buddha eye.
