In the next section: of the five merits, the first four are specific retributions, listing both cause and effect; the last one is a general retribution, which applies to the preceding ones as cause, hence it only shows the result. "Namo" is translated in the Jingyin Yi as "taking refuge and paying homage," or "taking refuge and showing reverence," or "saving me." As for "Tathāgata," the Chengshi Lun says: "Riding the path of suchness, he has come to achieve right enlightenment." "Without attachment" is because he is free from the defilements of dust. "Utmost truth" is because he is free from falsehood. "Equal and right enlightenment" means that the paths of the three periods of time are identical; "right" distinguishes him from the deviant and erroneous. The lines from "This is..." down encourage practice: what the Buddhas have practiced, ordinary beings below should emulate.
