The second gate. Within this there are two gates: first, proceeding upward; second, proceeding downward. In the first gate there are ten distinct gates: first is one. Why is this? Because it is formed through conditions. Up to the tenth: one is identical to ten. Why is this? Because if there is no one, ten is not established; because it is formed through conditions. In the second gate there are also ten gates: first is ten. Why is this? Because it is formed through conditions. Up to the tenth: ten is identical to one; because if there is no ten, one is not established. The others are by analogy. By this meaning, one should know that each and every coin possesses the ten gates.
