12.13

次第二門開合不定。總唯一善。簡凡異聖,分之為二。聖別大小,通凡說三。小中開分聲聞緣覺二種善異,通餘說四。大中離其佛與菩薩兩種善別,通餘說五。凡中別分人天善異,通餘說六。廣則無量。今據一門,且論五種。開合如是(此二門竟)。

Next, the second gate: opening and combining are not fixed. In general, there is only one wholesome. Setting apart the ordinary from the noble, it is divided into two. Distinguishing the noble into Great and Small, and including the ordinary, three are stated. Opening and dividing the Small into the two distinct wholesomes of śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas, and including the rest, four are stated. Separating the Great into the two distinct wholesomes of Buddhas and bodhisattvas, and including the rest, five are stated. Distinguishing within the ordinary the different wholesomes of humans and devas, and including the rest, six are stated. In broad terms, they are immeasurable. Now, relying on one perspective, five kinds are temporarily discussed. Such is opening and combining. (This completes the second gate.)
