6.87

三、淨名入定如諸比丘。荊溪云：借宿命智。借者，以此助彼故名也。而今淨名住無垢位，豈須入定然後知耶，今示入相令比丘知，則令比丘銜恩致敬。五百佛所者既已中忘，若依《法華》五百之初，或依今佛。若準《大經》，四恒之後五百佛所誠為不多。雖無塵點之言，及標一佛之號，今既獲益從於淨名，當知淨名或是本時眷屬師資，將非淨名亦於五百助其令發，凡一句益悉不徒然。故眾聖化儀，或獨或共或兼或正，良為宿不同故也。

Third, Jingming enters samādhi like the bhikṣus. Jingxi states: "Borrowing the wisdom of past lives. 'Borrowing' is named so because this is used to assist that. Now, since Jingming abides in the immaculate stage, why would he need to enter samādhi and only then know? Now he displays the appearance of entering to let the bhikṣus know, thereby causing the bhikṣus to feel gratitude and pay respect. Regarding 'at the places of five hundred Buddhas': since they had already forgotten in the interim, whether based on the beginning of the five hundred in the Lotus Sūtra or based on the present Buddha, if according to the Great Sūtra, after four Gaṅgās, five hundred Buddhas' places is truly not many. Although there are no words about dust-motes or the designation of a single Buddha's name, now that they obtain benefit from Jingming, one should know that Jingming may have been their original associate, teacher, or disciple. Could it not be that Jingming also helped arouse them at the five hundred [Buddhas]? Not a single sentence of benefit is ever in vain. Therefore, the conversion rituals of all the sages are sometimes solitary, sometimes collective, sometimes concurrent, and sometimes direct, precisely because past [causes] were not the same."
