When the sun rises, even though there’s only one sun, it is reflected in every body of water on earth, from tiny drops of dew on plants to great oceans. As long as the water isn’t covered, the sun is reflected in it. But the sun doesn’t have a motivation to be reflected in the water; it doesn’t have to put any effort into it—those reflections spontaneously appear. Similarly, after we achieve full enlightenment we spontaneously, perfectly guide sentient beings by revealing various means with our holy body, speech and mind.
