維摩經略疏垂裕記 4.46

4.46

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.
