2.29

[Treatise:] Perfuming by function […] the power of external conditions.
[Exposition:] Below, perfuming by function is explained. In this there are two parts: first, a general designation indicating the matter; next, a specific elucidation with reference to conditions. This is the first. It means that the functions initiated by the buddhas and bodhisattvas, their adaptations manifesting from great compassion and broad vows, are initiated through many means; and whenever anyone happens to see or hear them, none fail to receive benefit. Therefore, they are the power of external conditions for sentient beings.
