"In this way... bodhicitta": Fourth, clarifying that the assembly at that time gained benefit. Vimalakīrti, according with capacity in terms of the two gates of admonition and exhortation, used the four siddhāntas to meet the conditions of the four faculties, and what he preached was without discrepancy; hence it says "preached the Dharma as was fitting." As for "causing countless people to all generate the mind": that is, generating the four kinds of bodhicitta. Following their four conditions, each had the mind for the Path unfolded; that is, they universally undertook the practice and obtained its benefit, and this is the spiritual power of unshared dharmas. The generation of bodhicitta in the four teachings is fully explained in the *Profound Meaning of the Four Teachings*.
