二、「聽經」下，明一事滿四。三世諸佛覺智為命，而與眾生同一心性，乏熏修故，即不受供養，諸佛壽命不滅而滅，以隱為滅也。今以聽經為供養故，即是受供，諸佛壽命不生而生，以顯為生也。行人應了生佛無差，聽經智生即諸佛現，以諸如來同一智故。觀行、相似、分真之佛，與究竟佛無二無別。又了智生即三佛生，即一而三不縱不橫，此乃欲供、欲知三世諸佛。秖聽經一事，四願俱滿。

> Second, from "hearing the sūtra" below, clarifying how a single practice fulfills all four. The Buddhas of the three periods of time take awakening-wisdom as their life, yet they share the same mind-nature with sentient beings. Because of a lack of perfuming cultivation, they do not receive offerings, and the lifespans of all Buddhas, while not ceasing, cease—taking concealment as cessation. Now, by taking the hearing of the sūtra as making offerings, this constitutes receiving offerings, and the lifespans of all Buddhas, while not arising, arise—taking manifestation as arising. Practitioners must realize that sentient beings and Buddhas are non-different; when wisdom arises from hearing the sūtra, the Buddhas appear, because all Tathāgatas share one identical wisdom. The Buddhas of contemplative practice, of resemblance, and of partial realization are not two and not distinct from the ultimate Buddha. Furthermore, one realizes that the arising of wisdom is the arising of the three Buddhas; being three yet one, they are neither vertical nor horizontal. This is desiring to make offerings to and desiring to know the Buddhas of the three periods of time. Through the single practice of merely hearing the sūtra, all four vows are completely fulfilled.
