觀師釋滿足王法門云：此教所說一切皆實，何以言化？答：自力攝生一切皆實，逆行苦事須云權化，得此中意化亦是實，實體遍故，實亦化故也。

Master Guan, in explaining the Dharma gate of King Mānthātr, says: Everything taught in this teaching is real; why speak of transformation? Answer: When gathering sentient beings through one's own power, everything is real; when performing adverse actions and distressing deeds, one must speak of expedient transformation. If one grasps the meaning within this, transformation is also real, because the real substance is omnipresent; and the real is also transformation.
