That which is called "relying on the Dharma" means expounding the Dharma relying upon the Dharma of the Buddhas of the three periods; hence it says "relying on the Dharma." It is also because the Dharma is thus, which is why it says "relying on the Dharma." Question: What text proves the words "relying on the Dharma"? Answer: The preceding text says: "Śāriputra! The Dharma of all the Buddhas of the ten directions is also thus." The treatise master uses this text as proof.
