[Treatise:] All Buddhas […] because of the Tathāgata stage. [Exposition:] This explains the meaning of "vehicle." "What all Buddhas originally rode": this points to the fruition looking back to the cause to explain the meaning of the vehicle. That is, it reveals that which can ride and that which is ridden, because by riding this vehicle they attained right awakening. "Bodhisattvas ride this to reach the Buddha stage": this brings up the cause looking forward to the fruition to establish the meaning of conveying. This reveals that which can convey and that which is conveyed, because it can convey from the cause to arrive at the fruition.
