6.45

自下第三牒結勸學諸正士。菩薩已修此法下牒前二門。二法雖異而行必相因。故對而辯之。明行各有。以造用不同也。是名下結勸修學。不盡有為故無闕德之累。不住無為故無獨善之礙。此二無礙門是菩薩弘道之要路佛事無方之所由。勸彼令學示其佛事不思議道令必審故諸佛無若干也下明菩薩聞法歡喜敬禮辭去。於中初先三業敬養。後辭還土。前中初言彼諸菩薩聞說皆喜。法喜悅心意業供養。以眾花等身業供養。於中先以香花等供養。以後為設敬。前供養中以眾妙花遍散三千供養佛寶。及此經云供養法寶。并諸菩薩供養僧寶也。上來供訖。下為設敬。此身業竟。嘆未曾有等口業供養嘆也。上來敬供訖。言已不現到本國。辭還土也。

From here below is the third [part], which restates and concludes by exhorting the true beings to train in [these practices]. "When a bodhisattva has cultivated these dharmas" and below restates the preceding two approaches. Although the two dharmas differ, their practice necessarily depends upon one another, and therefore they are explained in contrast, clarifying that each practice exists because its application differs. "These are called..." and below concludes and exhorts them to cultivate and train. Because they do not exhaust the conditioned, they are free from the burden of deficient virtue; because they do not dwell in the unconditioned, they are free from the obstruction of solitary goodness. These two unobstructed approaches are the essential path by which bodhisattvas propagate the Way, and the source of the fathomless Buddha-activities. Exhorting them to train in this and displaying to them the acintya path of Buddha-activities so that they will be certain of it, "the Buddhas are not several..." and below explains that the bodhisattvas, having heard the Dharma, rejoiced, paid homage, and took their leave. Therein, first there is the reverent offering with the three karmas, and afterward they take leave and return to their realm. In the former, first it says that those bodhisattvas, hearing this exposition, all rejoiced; the joy in the Dharma gladdening their minds is the mental-karma offering. Using various flowers and so forth is the bodily-karma offering. Therein, first they make offerings with fragrant flowers and the like, and afterward they show reverence. In the former offering, using various wonderful flowers scattering them throughout the trichiliocosm is an offering to the Buddha-jewel; "and this sūtra" refers to offering to the Dharma-jewel; "and the bodhisattvas" refers to offering to the Saṅgha-jewel. The above concludes the offering; below is showing reverence. This completes bodily karma. "Exclaiming that it was unprecedented" and so forth is praising as the vocal-karma offering. The above concludes the reverent offering. It says that having finished speaking, they disappeared and arrived at their original land, which is taking leave and returning to their realm.
