Second, praising the distant causes of the inferior response [body], [which has] two [parts]: First, dividing the sections. Second, explaining accordingly, [which has] two [parts]: First, praising the benefit of form, [which has] two [parts]: First, praising the response form. Regarding "Some say 'original auspiciousness'" and so forth: this was originally the nyagrodha tree; the Buddha attained the Way under it, hence the auspicious name was established. Jingxi says: Regarding "The Demon King" and so forth: as in the Zhiguan ji. Regarding "Entering the fourth dhyāna at midnight": all response Buddhas attaining the Way, entering nirvāṇa, turning the wheel of the Dharma, and so forth, are in this dhyāna. Regarding "Knowing the permanent and impermanent" and so forth: "permanent" is fixed Dharma; "impermanent" is simply non-fixed Dharma. Among the three trainings, as in the Vinaya Piṭaka, intentionally committing a heavy transgression definitely becomes a karmic obstacle, which is termed "fixed"; the remaining precepts do not obstruct, hence they are termed "non-fixed." Sentient beings pertain to the direct reward; non-sentient things pertain to the circumstantial reward.
