First, as for listing the names: they are the universal characteristic, particular characteristic, identical characteristic, distinct characteristic, integrating characteristic, and disintegrating characteristic. The universal characteristic is because one gathers many virtues; the particular characteristic is because the many virtues are not one, and the particulars rely on that universal, fulfilling that universal; the identical characteristic is because the multiple meanings do not contradict one another, identically forming one universal; the distinct characteristic is because when the multiple meanings are viewed in relation to one another, each is distinct; the integrating characteristic is because it is formed through these conditions arising; the disintegrating characteristic is because the various meanings each abide in their own dharma without shifting.
