Furthermore, regarding the five causes and conditions: when sentient beings' faithful delight serves as the cause, the Buddha speaks of the one dharma as all dharmas, which is the great bodhicitta; in the sūtra this is 'delight and desire', and in the treatise it is 'worldly'. When sentient beings have great vigor and courage, the Buddha speaks of the one practice as all practices, which are the four samādhis; in the sūtra this is 'what is suitable', and in the treatise it is 'for individual persons'. When sentient beings have equal great wisdom as the cause, it evokes the Buddha speaking of the one destruction as destroying all, obtaining supreme retribution and penetrating sūtras and treatises; in both sūtra and treatise this is 'curative'. When sentient beings have the Buddha-wisdom eye as the cause, it evokes the Buddha speaking of the one culmination as all culminations, being able to preach the ultimate purpose of quietude and cessation; in both sūtra and treatise this is the 'supreme truth'.
