English version 'Small precepts surpass the Śrāvakas (hearers) and Pratyekabuddhas (solitary Buddhas), hence the name Immeasurable Store of Conduct and Vows (referring to the immeasurable practices and vows of Bodhisattvas). 'Cause and effect' refers to the eternally abiding store of Buddha-nature in the cause (referring to the inherent Buddha-nature of sentient beings, which is constant and unchanging). The eternally abiding store of Buddha-nature in the effect (referring to the Buddha-nature attained after becoming a Buddha, which is constant and unchanging). What is meant by 'cause' is that entering the Ten Faiths (different stages in the Bodhisattva path) from the precepts is called 'cause,' up to Equal Enlightenment. Wonderful Enlightenment (Buddhahood) is the 'effect.' Whether it is cause or effect, the Buddha-nature is eternally abiding, and the conduct and vows do not diminish, this is called the eternally abiding store of Buddha-nature in cause and effect. What is meant by upholding precepts based on principle? Buddha-nature is the mind (taking Buddha-nature as the fundamental mind). The dependent and the proper are one and the same (the environment and the beings within it are one). The Middle Way in form and fragrance (the Middle Way is manifested in phenomena such as form and fragrance). The unchanging Middle Way of the Dharma Realm is called 'constant.' Vairochana Buddha pervades all places, is this not a 'store'? The Dharma-nature (the nature of Dharma) and Sangha-nature (the nature of Sangha) are one and the same without difference, and can both be called 'store.' What is meant by the awakened mind being called Buddha (the awakened mind is called Buddha), being free from defilement being called Dharma (being free from defilement is called Dharma), and being without contention being called Sangha (being without contention is called Sangha)? Therefore, the Vimalakirti Sutra says: 'The Buddha is Dharma, and Dharma is the Sangha.' Therefore, the Nirvana Sutra says: 'What is called Buddha-nature is like empty space, neither internal nor external.' If it is said to be internal or external, how can it be said that it exists everywhere? If someone does not understand this principle, they wrongly quote Mahayana scriptures, dividing the two natures of Buddha and Dharma (Buddha-nature and Dharma-nature) into existence and non-existence, mistakenly taking the expedient teachings of the Nirvana Sutra as the true meaning, like Venerable Kasyapa, wanting to remove walls and tiles to find Buddha-nature, this is wrong. Detailed discussions are in the Golden Needle Treatise. Next, summarizing with 'suchness' (tathata) summarizes the above content, all returning to one principle, the principle has no difference, so it is called 'suchness.' 'Suchness' summarizes the above Dharma, everything is the speaker, that is, Shakyamuni Buddha and billions of Shakyamuni Buddhas. Question: The various stores listed above, there are five stores, what is the difference? Answer: The first three belong to the three causes of inherent virtue (referring to the three causes inherent in Buddha-nature), and the latter two belong to the three causes of acquired cultivation (referring to the three causes acquired through practice). The rational awareness and wisdom are called the Buddha-mind store, which is the enabling cause (the cause that enables the result), like the fire in wood, the nature of being able to illuminate and function. The rational direct cause is the body of Dharma, universally present and unmoving, like the earth, like the fire in wood, naturally having the nature of heat. The rational precept store is from the perspective of cutting off delusion, it is the virtue of liberation, corresponding to the conditioning cause (the external conditions that promote the result), like the fire in wood, the nature of being able to cook food. Immeasurable, etc., vows are the enabling cause, vows are initiated by wisdom. Conduct is the conditioning cause, the condition for all practices. Cutting off delusion is freedom, so Buddha-nature is eternally abiding, constant is the direct cause, the Dharma body is universally present. It should be known that cultivation reveals the nature, and the nature initiates cultivation, cultivation and nature are not dual, like fire coming out of wood, there is no difference between inside and outside. For cultivation and non-cultivation, one should not distinguish, but each should distinguish the three natures, distinguishing and not distinguishing, all connect from beginning to end. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

English version: To agree with six individuals is to avoid abuse and suspicion. All things possess nature (性), principle (理), and three causes (三因). Understand the three non-delusive names and the three causes. Observe the three uninterrupted (三无间), entering the five grades of position (五品位). Through the practice of the three causes, attain pure six senses (六根), entering the perfect ten faiths (圆十信). The similar three causes, break through the delusions beyond the realms, entering the initial dwelling of the perfect teaching (圆初住), up to the forty-one stages of near-perfect enlightenment (等觉). Partially realize the three causes. Wonderful enlightenment (妙觉), unsurpassed, ultimate three causes. The principle remains the same, but the matters differ, hence the six differences. The initial mind is correct and without doubt. Ultimately attaining wonderful enlightenment without abuse. Below the countless billions of worlds, the fourth assembly practices these two principles. First, it explains that the opportunities in countless billions of worlds are received and practiced. Second, '若广下' refers to the extensive explanation. Preface: I, Ming Kuang, was born in Taizhou, belonging to Mount Tiantai. The county borders Zhang'an, and Taizhou is adjacent to Kuocang. The fifth generation successor of the Tiantai school inherited the lineage of the three continents. Could there be none who have seen or heard in the past, and are now delighted to encounter this? I myself feel fortunate. In my prime, I inquired about the Way in the southeast, and in my youth, I resided in Yan County in name. After fully receiving the precepts, I faced the Hai Guan and Chang Run masters at Guoqing Temple to learn. More than twelve years have passed, and I have returned to my homeland. People are in desolate places, and sorrow is due to karma. Only through the scriptures and precepts can I repay the kindness of this land. Therefore, I record these, hoping that they will be accepted by the people of that time. If there are any omissions or shortcomings, please seek them in other commentaries. Those who have heard and witnessed together, please attribute the merit to the root. May the master's eye of wisdom remotely illuminate my sincere heart, allowing me to rely on the Buddha and the scriptures. Recorded on the first day of the second month of the twelfth year of the Dali era, at the Sanzhang Temple in Huangyan County, Taizhou. Briefly explaining the ten suchnesses (十如是): appearance (相) is determined from the outside, nature (性) is determined from the inside. Primary substance is the substance (体), function is the power (力), creation is the action (作), habitual cause is the cause (因), auxiliary cause is the condition (缘), habitual effect is the effect (果), retributive effect is the retribution (报). The initial appearance is the root (本), the final retribution is the end (末). The existence of the initial and final appearances is the ultimate, etc. The chapter on King Heavenly Light (天光王品) is named after the name of the Bodhisattva. Question: Why are there many repetitions in the sequence of the ten places? Answer: The initial repetition is a general narration, and the transmission of the Tiantai school jointly lists the ten places. Second, from '尔时下' to '亦复如是', it shows the eight aspects and ten places of the first life. Entering the heavenly palace is ascending to Tushita Heaven (兜率天). What is said in the ten places is the Turning the Wheel of Dharma (转法轮). Entering the womb, dwelling in the womb, and exiting the womb are all included in the descent. Renunciation and enlightenment are the seven aspects. Nirvana (涅槃) is omitted. Second, '吾今' --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
