English version: Moreover, the mind is without attachment, and because it is not defiled by all dharmas (teachings, phenomena), it can also purify the Buddha-lands, enabling sentient beings to enter the pure paths of the Three Vehicles (Śrāvakayāna, Pratyekabuddhayāna, and Bodhisattvayāna), hence it is called the 'Pure Gate.' A Bodhisattva (enlightenment being) in the initial stage who enters this Dharma (law, teaching) gate, as stated in the scriptures, can also be called a Buddha. Having attained Prajna (wisdom) and Right Wisdom, hearing of the Tathagatagarbha (the womb of the Thus Come One), manifesting the True Dharmakaya (the true body of the Dharma), possessing the Śūraṅgama Samadhi (a powerful state of meditation), clearly seeing the Buddha-nature (the potential for enlightenment), abiding in the Great Nirvana (a state beyond life and death), entering the Samadhi (meditative state) of the Lotus Sutra, the inconceivable realm of the One Reality. A detailed explanation is as clarified in the Avatamsaka Sutra (Flower Garland Sutra), this is the first Bhumi (stage) Bodhisattva realizing the inconceivable, true Six Subtle Dharma Gates. The 'Middle Realization' refers to the remaining Nine Abodes, Ten Practices, Ten Dedications, Ten Bhumis, and the Equal Enlightenment stage, all of which are called the Middle Realization of the inconceivable, true Six Subtle Dharma Gates. What is called the Ultimate Perfect Realization of the Six Subtle Dharma Gates? A Bodhisattva with a later-stage mind enters the 'Cha' syllable gate, attains wisdom corresponding to a single thought, the Wonderful Enlightenment manifests, thoroughly illuminating the Dharma Realm, ultimately understanding the six Dharma Gates, with complete and universally available functions without any deficiency, this is the Ultimate Perfect Six Subtle Dharma Gates. The meaning of the characteristics of realization in the separate methods of Counting Breaths, Following Breaths, Stopping and Observing, Returning to Purity, and other Dharma Gates is not different from what was said before, but there is a difference in being perfectly complete. Therefore, the Inga-loka Sutra (Necklace Sutra) says: 'The Three Sages and Ten Saints practice in the stage of forbearance, only the Buddha alone can exhaust the source.' The Lotus Sutra says: 'Only Buddhas with Buddhas can ultimately understand the true nature of all dharmas.' This is spoken from the aspect of teaching and guiding practice. From the perspective of principle, the Dharma Realm is perfectly interconnected, the Dharma Gates realized by all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are not different from beginning to end. Therefore, the Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra (Great Perfection of Wisdom Sutra) says: 'The initial 'A' syllable and the final 'Cha' syllable, their meaning is not different.' The Nirvana Sutra says: 'The initial aspiration and the ultimate realization are not different, such two minds, the initial aspiration is difficult.' The Avatamsaka Sutra says: 'From the first Bhumi, all the merits of all the Bhumis are fully possessed.' The Lotus Sutra says: 'Thus, from the root to the branch, ultimately they are equal.'
