Second, the passage beginning 'Having known' next treats the general. Previously, clarifying that all dharmas do not lose their own essences was the specific; now, explaining that all dharmas converge in an instant is the general. Never losing them all day long, they converge all day long; the dharmas inherent in the nature mutually subsume general and specific, and the dharmas of conditioned arising do likewise with general and specific; it does not mean that the specific is discussed in terms of phenomena and the general is taken as principle. Furthermore, one should know that whether phenomena or principle, both take the single thought-moment within phenomena as the general, because sentient beings reside in phenomena and have not awakened to principle, and because the wondrous principle is revealed relying on the mind of the aggregates.
