答曰:一切聲聞經中多說一切處是有漏緣,但是修通法,既於發無漏義劣,故不分別。若依摩訶衍義欲分別者,類如前背捨、勝處中說。今菩薩為欲令神通普徧成就普現色,具足一切法界中事,故修是一切處,故《大品經》亦說名一切處波羅蜜。

Answer: In the śrāvaka sūtras, it is mostly taught that the totality spheres take defiled objects as their conditions and are merely methods for cultivating supernormal knowledges; since they are inferior in their ability to generate undefiledness, they are not distinguished. If one wishes to distinguish them according to the meaning of the Mahāyāna, they are analogous to what was taught earlier regarding the liberations and stations of mastery. Now, because a bodhisattva wishes to cause supernormal knowledges to be universally accomplished, to universally manifest colors, and to complete all matters within the Dharma realm, they cultivate these totality spheres; hence the *Large Sūtra* also speaks of them as the "perfection of the totality spheres."
