室內〈問疾〉一品明諸佛國土皆空,顯不思議解脫之大果,現於權疾,託疾興教,為生實疾菩薩三觀之善,破三種實疾也。〈不思議解脫品〉重成於果,〈觀眾生品〉、〈佛道品〉、〈入不二法門品〉、〈香積品〉重成三觀之因。辨果明因,因果雖殊,皆是說不思議解脫之教也。一期化緣既訖,故掌擎大眾,還歸佛所,表所化之徒緣縛既斷,當生淨國,成淨佛國土之行。又欲遠益未來,故勸供養斯法,付屬流通,皆是闡揚不思議三種解脫之大道也。

The single chapter 'Inquiring About Illness' in the room clarifies that all buddha-lands are empty, revealing the great fruition of inconceivable liberation. He manifests provisional illness and relies on illness to initiate the teaching, in order to generate the goodness of the three contemplations in bodhisattvas afflicted with real illness and destroy the three kinds of real illness. The chapter 'Inconceivable Liberation' reiterates the fruition. The chapters 'Contemplating Sentient Beings', 'The Buddha Path', 'Entering the Dharma-Door of Non-Duality', and 'Accumulated Fragrance' reiterate the causes of the three contemplations. Discerning fruition and clarifying causes, although cause and fruition differ, they are all teachings expounding inconceivable liberation. Once the conditions for converting beings during this period were completed, he held the great assembly in his palm and returned to the Buddha's place, signifying that the bonds of conditions for the disciples being transformed had been severed and that they would be born in pure lands to accomplish the practices of purifying buddha-lands. Furthermore, wishing to benefit the distant future, he exhorted the making of offerings to this Dharma and entrusted it for circulation. All of this proclaims the great path of the inconceivable three kinds of liberation.
