Question: Lightning is a metaphor of the Tripiṭaka [teachings]; how can it be admitted and used within the Mahāyāna gate? Answer: Having already spoken of the metaphor of an illusion to show that continuity is unreal, rapidity had not yet been made clear; therefore, borrowing the metaphor of lightning to reveal rapidity, how could it not be acceptable?
