It surpasses worldly beings through discernment. If they do not discern, how can they properly enter the realm of knowledge? Just as entering from the aspect of transcendence of the world, one sees the meaning of impermanence. However, it is not seen as the nature of impermanence itself. Regarding the meaning of impermanence itself, just as it is, it should be understood that the remaining aspects are also to be combined in the same way. Just as abiding in these, one sees the meaning of impermanence and directly experiences it. However, it is not seen through the gate of elaboration by explicitly stating "it is impermanent." Similarly, the aspects of suffering and so forth should also be combined. This is called the ascertainment of truth, which is the second [section] of the Compendium. What is the ascertainment of Dharma? What is called Dharma refers to the Sutra, the musical expression, the prophecy, the verses, the inspired utterances, the narratives, the accounts of realization, the accounts of such occurrences, the stories of births, the extensive teachings, the wondrous Dharmas, and the teachings that establish the definitive meaning. Dharma is the twelve-part teaching included in the sacred scriptures. Sutra refers to what is spoken solely in the manner of what is appropriately spoken. Why did the Tathagata not separately explain the meaning accepted by the Tathagata? It is said: Seeing ten benefits, the Tathagata teaches the Dharma in the manner of what is appropriately spoken, making it easy to establish, easy to explain, easy to grasp, and through reverence for the Dharma, one quickly perfects the accumulations, quickly realizes the nature of Dharma, gains faith upon knowing the Buddha, gains faith upon knowing the Dharma and the Sangha, touches the excellence of abiding in happiness in this very life, and by properly establishing it with truthful words, one delights the minds of the noble ones, and goes to the gathering of the wise, called "wise, wise." Among these, how is it easy to establish? It means that the teacher summarizes and establishes the many meanings to be known, in order to save time. Easy to explain means that through a small part, one can understand the vast meaning. For example, "establishing" and "constant establishing" and so on. It is also easy for the listener to understand the text. Through reverence for the Dharma, one quickly perfects the accumulations,
