Therefore, it is called the unshared Dharma of the Buddha. Among these Dharmas, some are not present in all respects for the Shravakas and others, in order to show these, such as great compassion and so on. Regarding "Whatever those objects are," entering with aspects and objects closely connected is knowing what is and is not the place, and so on. By saying "Not all aspects are completely perfect," one does not obtain the names of powers, fearlessness, and so on. Conversely, it is complete and perfect, and is extremely transcendent, because it possesses greatness. The most excellent is because it possesses immeasurable realms. Therefore, it is called unshared. The so-called "complete learning path" and so on, as stated, dividing this Bodhisattva ground into nine types is the learning path. The fruit is the distinction of the abiding path, and both of these are places of teaching. Now, the Bodhisattva ground will be established in four ways, in order to generate respect for it in the beings to be tamed. The different names of the name of great qualities, such as "Mother of the Bodhisattva Pitaka" and so on. This Bodhisattva ground is like the place of the mother of the extremely vast Bodhisattva Pitaka, because all those Sutras are pervaded by this, like a model of writing. It is also called "Mahayana Samgraha," because it distinguishes by showing the meaning of all the Sutras. It is also called explaining the path of wasting and not wasting, because it excellently shows the Middle Way of the Bodhisattva with true meaning. It is also called the root of pure, undefiled wisdom, because it distinguishes by showing the near attainment of the wisdom that purifies the two obscurations of afflictions and knowledge. The so-called "Having the yoga of constant practice with this Dharma, that will become great merit," such as "Whoever is with gods and humans" and so on. The so-called "with gods and humans" means that there is no difference in the practice of beings.
