1.46

"Approaching the unexcelled, peerless, sovereign wisdom of the Buddha, the [ten powers], the [four] fearlessnesses, and the eighteen unshared dharmas." This is the third [section], explaining their approaching the fruit to praise their virtues, which has three parts. This first part explains their personal realization. Sengzhao says: "The Buddha's path is transcendent and has none equal to it; only the Buddha equals himself, hence it is called 'peerless and equal.' The reason its equality is expounded is to explain that the one great principle has nowhere it does not culminate, flat like empty space—how could there be higher or lower? As for 'sovereign wisdom,' the ten powers, four fearlessnesses, and eighteen unshared dharmas are just that. Although the mahāsattvas do not yet fully possess the Buddha's wisdom, they have already drawn close to it." / "Closing off the gates to all miserable destinies, yet taking birth in the five destinies to manifest their bodies." This is the second [part], explaining the benefits of transforming [beings], which has two parts: first, explaining being unborn yet born; second, explaining manifesting birth to benefit beings. This first part means that because they realize the signless, the various destinies close of themselves; yet not abandoning great compassion, they manifest birth in the five destinies. The 'five destinies' are the three [lower] destinies, humans, and devas. Sengzhao says: "The dharmakāya is unborn, yet there is nowhere it is not born. Because it is unborn, the gates to the miserable destinies are closed; because there is nowhere it is not born, it manifests birth in the five destinies."
