Regarding the second division, 'in order to sever the two causes, two true Dharmas are proclaimed': first, the true Dharma of impermanence; second, the true Dharma of non-self, which is said to remedy one cause, or to remedy both causes in common. Regarding 'in the four alternatives,' Master Jing states: After the Tathāgata's extinction, the four propositions of conditioned, unconditioned, both existent and non-existent, neither existent nor non-existent, and so forth are called the four alternatives. Master Tai states: Because they are clearly explained with reference to the turning of the four propositions such as 'conditioned,' they are called the four alternatives. Regarding 'I say that śrāvakas, pratyekabuddhas, and the Buddha, the World-Honoured One, are called Tathāgatas; one should know that this self is conventionally designated in two ways: in the remainder, it is conventionally designated as conditioned; in the absence of remainder, it is conventionally designated as unconditioned': the non-learners of the three vehicles are all generally called Tathāgatas because they ride upon the path of reality and come to achieve right awakening; yet in the remainder, a conditioned self is conventionally designated, and in the absence of remainder, an unconditioned self is conventionally designated.
