請觀音經疏闡義鈔 4.7

4.7

The passage praising the function is divided into three: the first is the response capable of eradicating suffering; the latter two are the capacities capable of practice. Moreover, the first is transforming others upon the fruit; the latter two are one's own practice in the cause. Furthermore, the six paths are the realm contemplated; the six wondrous [gates] are the contemplation that contemplates; the six sense faculties are the afflictions to be destroyed. Therefore, these three passages of the sūtra do not go beyond capacity and response, self and other, and each treating the realm, contemplation, and affliction.
