問：如上多門一時俱圓耶？前後不同耶？答：即圓即前後不同。何故如是？須圓即圓，須前後即前後。何以故？法性家內德用自在無障礙故，由緣成故，皆得如是。問：如上所說來去義，其相云何？答：自位不動而恒來去。何以故？來去者，隨緣義，即是因緣義。不動者，向本義，即是緣起義。

Question: Are the many gates as described above all complete simultaneously? Or are they different in before and after? Answer: They are both complete simultaneously and different in before and after. Why is it like this?
