6.3
From the 'Chapter on Upāya' onward, eight chapters explain the practices of the two benefits; this one chapter explains the fruition of the two benefits, inspiring longing and aspiration for the virtues of fruition; thus this chapter explains the place of bodhi. Alternatively, the previous eight chapters specifically explain the two benefits, while this chapter generally explains the two benefits. 'Fragrant Terrace' is the name of a Buddha; by attributing the fruition virtue of a Buddha to the preeminence of a single Buddha, those of lower status are led to seek it, taking the Buddha's name as the chapter title. Explaining the two benefits so that they may cultivate them, the Buddha's body is luminous and exalted, resembling a high terrace composed of accumulated incense to benefit and assist all beings; hence it is named 'Fragrant Terrace'. Because this chapter broadly explains that matter, it is called the 'Chapter on the Fragrant Terrace'.
