Next is the overarching structural division. In the following section that explains the dharma taught to bodhisattvas, it is roughly divided into two and finely divided into four. Roughly divided into two: from here up through the end of "Ru bu'er men", it explains the causes and results of the bodhisattva's dharmakāya; from the "Xiangji pin" onward, it explains the causes and results of the bodhisattva's pure land. Finely divided into four: first, in relation to Maitreya, it explains the fruit of the dharmakāya, the true nature of bodhi being this fruit; from "Xianyan" (Guangyan) onward up through the end of "Ru bu'er men", it explains the causes of the dharmakāya; the beginning of the "Xiangji pin" explains the fruit of the pure land; the end of the "Xiangji pin" explains the causes of the pure land, cultivating the ten and cultivating the eight being these causes. Such is the overarching division.
