2.37

[Treatise:] Sentient beings […] see all buddhas.
[Exposition:] This dispels an external doubt and explains the meaning of "equality." The external doubt says: If it is said that they can manifest equal conditions and functions, why do sentient beings see distinctions? Therefore, this explains: equal conditions respond to equal capacities. "Equal capacities" refers to sentient beings above the three grades of worthies and so forth, who, relying on the power of samādhi, completely see all buddhas. The dimensions of their bodies are equal, without characteristics of delimitation between self and other; hence it says "equally seeing all buddhas."
