4.46

問:既云因果,今修十法即獲淨名之十法耶?答:依經修觀,道理必然。淨名一德具九,修時必諸句互融。若修一德尚具十德,何況修十不具十耶?但以一德而為言端。應修十德共成一德,餘德亦然,方名具德。故便修時一句遍攝,則令至果一德通收。

Question: Since you speak of cause and effect, if one now cultivates the ten dharmas, will one obtain the ten dharmas of Jingming? Answer: Cultivating contemplation relying on the sūtra, by principle this is inevitable. A single virtue of Jingming intrinsically possesses nine; when cultivating, the various phrases must interpenetrate one another. If cultivating a single virtue already intrinsically possesses ten virtues, how much more so when cultivating ten, could they not intrinsically possess ten? One merely takes a single virtue as the starting point of speech. One should cultivate the ten virtues together to accomplish a single virtue, and so too for the remaining virtues; only then is it called 'possessing the virtues.' Therefore, when cultivating them, a single phrase universally encompasses [all], so that upon reaching the fruit, a single virtue completely gathers them all.
