答。若說隨自意自行權實。則但說一心門。若隨他意化他權實。廣開八萬法。今但說自行權實。本末歸宗。台教云。若佛心中所觀十界十如。皆無上相。唯是一佛法界。如海總眾流千車共一轍。此即自行權實。若隨他等意。則有九法界十如。即是化他權實。隨他則開。隨自則合。橫竪周照。開合自在。雖開無量。無量而一。雖合為一一而無量。雖無量一。而非一非無量。雖非一非無量。而一而無量。

Answer: If one speaks of the provisional and real of self-practice in accordance with one's own intention, then one only speaks of the gate of the one mind. If it is the provisional and real of transforming others in accordance with the intention of others, one broadly opens the eighty thousand dharmas. Now we only speak of the provisional and real of self-practice, where the branches and roots return to the source. The Tiantai teachings say: 'If within the Buddha's mind the ten realms and ten thusnesses contemplated are all without superior characteristics, there is only the single Buddha-dharmadhātu, just as the sea gathers the myriad streams and a thousand carriages share a single rut: this is the provisional and real of self-practice. If it accords with the intentions of others, then there are the ten thusnesses of the nine realms: this is the provisional and real of transforming others.' In accordance with others, there is opening; in accordance with oneself, there is combining. Comprehensively illuminating both horizontally and vertically, opening and combining are unobstructed. Although opening into the immeasurable, the immeasurable is one; although combining into the one, the one is immeasurable. Although immeasurable and one, it is neither one nor immeasurable; although neither one nor immeasurable, it is both one and immeasurable.
