1.107

八、造修益者，謂如善財依此普法，於一生身，從初發心至普賢位，十地位滿。乃至云「一切菩薩無量劫修，善財一生皆得。」解云：以就普門一得一切得故，廣如〈入法界品〉說。又如善財前生曾見聞普法，成金剛種，遂令今生頓成解行門，此豈不三僧祇劫？答：此中時劫不定，或一念則無量劫、無量劫即一念、一生即無量生等，並具如前十種無礙，准思可見。

Eighth, the benefit of engaging in cultivation means that, like Sudhana, by relying on this universal Dharma, within a single lifetime, from first arousing the mind up to the stage of Samantabhadra, he fulfilled the ten grounds. It even says: "What all bodhisattvas cultivate for immeasurable kalpas, Sudhana attained in a single lifetime." In explanation: this is because in terms of the universal gate, one attainment is all attainments, as explained at length in the "Chapter on Entering the Dharmadhātu." Furthermore, as Sudhana in a previous life had seen and heard the universal Dharma and formed vajra seeds, this caused him in this life to suddenly accomplish the approach of understanding and practice; how could this not be three asaṃkhyeya kalpas? Answer: the time periods and kalpas here are not fixed; either a single thought-moment is immeasurable kalpas, or immeasurable kalpas are a single thought-moment, or a single life is immeasurable lives, and so on; all fully possess the ten kinds of unobstructedness as before, which can be seen by considering by analogy.
