1.39

“The Dharma-jewel shining everywhere and raining down amṛta”: Below, the second part clarifies their correct transformation that benefits beings. The text has three parts: first, clarifying the benefit of generating good; second, clarifying the benefit of destroying evil; third, clarifying the benefit of attaining the fruition. Generating good also has three parts; this first presents two metaphors, comparing how expounding the Dharma in response to capacities universally generates goodness in beings. Zhao says: “The light of the Dharma-jewel illuminates everywhere, dispelling the darkness of ignorance. Its moisture moistens everywhere, moistening saṃsāra. It is likened to a divine jewel in the ocean, which can emit light to eliminate darkness, and also by virtue of its light can rain down amṛta to moisten what is withered.”
