The Tian Tai tradition distinguishes this chapter as the beginning of the second half of the Sutra. Included is a discussion of the conduct of a Bodhisattva as it relates to the Vinaya and the Four Dharmas that Bodhisattvas should follow and happily maintain. Happily-dwelling conduct is the Bodhisattva conduct, and the Bodhisattva conduct is itself the happily-dwelling conduct. Happily dwelling in the doors of practice cultivated by Bodhisattvas, we can reside physically and mentally in the states of cultivation of the Bodhisattva Way, and do so happily, since that is what we to do.
