1.6

As for the statement "This mind encompasses all dharmas": this reveals that the self-essence of the great dharma is solely the One Mind, unlike the Hīnayāna where all dharmas each have their own self-essence and can all serve as dharmas; therefore, it speaks of the One Mind as the Mahāyāna dharma. For this reason, relying on this mind-dharma, the meaning of Mahāyāna is revealed.
