2.8

Third, concerning principle: the principle is a single dharma, yet its names and meanings are manifold. Hence the Mahānirvāṇa Sūtra states: "Just as the heavenly king Śakra has various names." Liberation is also like this, having many names. Because the names differ, it is called "distinctive." Because it is identically one principle, it is called "shared." From teaching one generates practice, and from practice one enters principle; all possess both the shared and the distinctive.
