淨名玄論 2.2

2.2

The treatise states: Because one embodies the principle of nonduality, there is nondual cognition. Because of nondual cognition, one adapts and transforms [beings] without fixed direction. Adapting and transforming without fixed direction, the bestowal of teachings is not uniform. The bestowal of teachings not being uniform, the titles assigned to them differ. Hence we know that the gate of nonduality is the root of the title. Above, the root of the title has already been revealed; now, next, we relate its fundamental title. In relating its fundamental title, there are briefly two aspects: first, a general discussion of the various teachings; second, a specific account of this sūtra.
