Principle relies on collateral division, and phenomena can respond perfectly, directly enabling one to see Buddhas in every speck of dust and hear sūtras in every land, immediately manifesting the body of an official to preach the Dharma for them, intending to extend one's own hand to guide people. But tell me: just at such a time, how do you explain the principle of collateral division? Do you understand? Have you not seen Jiufeng say: 'The edict spreads throughout the empire, but the king does not travel'?"
