The latter four chapters broadly explain the actual illness, which has two \[parts\]: first, listing the headings in general; second, explaining the meaning according to the headings, which has three \[parts\]: first, clarifying the reasons for this chapter and the three chapters below, which has two \[parts\]: first, clarifying the reasons, which has two \[parts\]: first, clarifying the reasons in terms of the 'Inconceivable Chapter'. Why the reasons for the previous chapter are clarified again is to make the subsequent text follow consecutively without confusion. The text has two \[parts\]: first, immediate contrast with the 'Inquiring About Illness Chapter'. 'Accomplishing the above fruit meaning': namely accomplishing the fruit-functions of both the proximate and remote places, and hence the text from 'speaking proximately' downward is it. \[Dao\]xian says: precisely because the supreme function is difficult to conceive, one knows that the fruit-realization is profound and remote, hence it says 'accomplishing the above fruit meaning'. 'The illness of benefiting beings through inconceivable causes and conditions': causes and conditions are simply stimulus and response. Sometimes through the sage as cause, worldlings are conditions; sometimes through worldlings as cause, the sage is conditions. The cause is intimate and conditions are distant, the meaning being as usually distinguished. If speaking of stimulus and response, stimulus is definitively in worldlings and response is definitively in the sage. Thus we know that solely clarifying the inconceivable function in terms of the eight pairs are all illnesses that benefit beings. Second, remote contrast with the 'Buddha Land Chapter'. > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 9.53](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9.53) - [Next: 9.55](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9.55) - [Up: 9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779~en-mt.9.54) — English, machine translation --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9.54](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1779.9.54) · Pramāṇa
