"The Buddha expounds the Dharma with a single voice: / Some feel fear, while others rejoice; / Some give rise to revulsion, while others sever doubt: / This is the unshared dharma of his spiritual power." These two lines are unimpeded eloquence in delightful discourse. Sengzhao says: "Sentient beings, hearing of the retribution of suffering, feel fear; hearing of the wondrous fruit, they rejoice; hearing of impurity, they give rise to revulsion; hearing of the marks of phenomena, they sever doubt. One does not know how a single voice is expounded to cause joy and fear to arise differently. How could this be shared by the two vehicles?"
