維摩義記 4.65

4.65

Next, the fourth gate distinguishes differences in contrast to the above. The differences are of three kinds, as already distinguished above: first, the difference in persons transformed: the preceding chapter brought transformative benefit to the bodhisattvas of Sarvagandhasugandha, while this chapter brings transformative benefit to the assembly of the Sahā world; second, the difference in the arising of illumination: the preceding chapter clarified the cultivation of practice of one's own stage; when cultivation of practice increases, one enters the realm of the buddhas and can see all buddhas, which is superior progress; third, the difference in the analysis of phenomena: the preceding chapter clarified the cause, while this chapter discusses the fruit; the fruit refers to the virtues of the Buddha. Distinguishing differences is like this.
