Question: For sentient beings bound by defilements and bodhisattvas in the process of eternally severing [afflictions] who have not yet perfected merit and wisdom, by what meaning have they originally become Buddhas? Answer: When a bodhisattva has not yet severed them, they are not called having become a Buddha; when a bodhisattva has severed them completely and merit and wisdom are fully perfected, from this point forward they are called having originally become a Buddha.
