"What are called the eight kinds of great meanings? For those who have doubts, it is in order to sever doubts. For those who have already severed doubts, it is in order to increase and ripen their body of wisdom. For those whose faculties are ripe, it is in order to preach the two kinds of subtle and secret spheres: first, the secret sphere of the śrāvaka; second, the secret sphere of the bodhisattva. The two phrases on the great Dharma drum manifest [this] because it is heard afar. For those who have entered the secret sphere, it is in order to cause them to advance and grasp the increasingly pure meaning. Grasping the increasingly pure meaning is in order to grasp all-knowledge directly seen. Causing them to advance and grasp all-knowledge (sarvākārajñatā) so as to attain direct vision is in order to establish names, words, and phrases for all dharmas. Establishing names, words, and phrases is in order to cause them to enter the ineffable turning of the Dharma wheel of realized wisdom."
