4.54

Third, great wealth. "Merit of the three karmas": Jingxi says: "This is what is possessed by the house of the three karmas, and therefore belongs to wealth." "Holding all merits of mental karma": this is spoken tentatively from a distinct perspective. If discussed generally, it is only because the mind holds them that body and speech can hold them. The expression "attaining all..." is truly due to this. The expression "and the rest": outside the three karmas, there are no other dharmas. Now speaking of "the rest" is to speak distinctively by lodging it in the expedient teachings; hence it says "the rest." Thus, the three karmas of the perfect [teaching] encompass all dharmas within expedients, just as in the worldly realm a great state can contain small states.
