3.38

"Although well-versed in secular texts, he always took pleasure in the Buddha's Dharma": the secular texts of this land are the Five Classics and the like; in the Western land they are the four Vedas, the eighteen great scriptures, the methods of the ṛṣis, spells, and arts. "Always took pleasure in the Buddha's Dharma" means that he always took pleasure in the Buddha's Dharma clarified by the four teachings, guiding beings so that they would enter inconceivable liberation and the four buddha-lands. It is simply that the secret three virtues of the fundamental ground of the dharmakāya can perfume actions; putting poison into milk, he used expedient means to lead beings together back to the four lands and to enter the inconceivable Dharma door.
