大乘起信論義記 2.11

2.11

In discerning the characteristics, explaining the three names above constitutes three sections. In the first there are two: first, general, and second, particular. The general explains that the minds of sentient beings subsume all, etc., in the Section on Establishing the Meaning above. The particular explains the distinct meanings of the two gates below "Why is this?" in the Section on Establishing the Meaning above. In the general there are three: 1. opening the gates based on the Dharma, 2. listing the two gates, and 3. the two gates comprehensively subsuming.
