6.13

Concluding the juxtaposition secondly in terms of all dharmas, and thirdly in terms of all sages and worthies—the text is abbreviated and does not present them; they can be known by analogy with the juxtaposition of sentient beings. Fourth, as for the reverse juxtaposition in terms of Maitreya—the text is abbreviated and does not present it; one must follow the previous reverse juxtaposition: If all sages and worthies do not receive prophecy, Maitreya also does not receive prophecy. Why? For suchness is neither two nor different. If all sentient beings do not receive prophecy, all dharmas are also juxtaposed in this way. Second, in terms of the Distinct and Perfect, four rounds of concluding the juxtaposition are also implicitly made, which can be known by analogy with the Common. If Maitreya cannot resolve them, then the doctrine of receiving prophecy in the three teachings is destroyed, demonstrating his submission to rebuke.
