The significance of the comment on the Gate of Praise in Tanluan's Commentary on the Treatise on the Pure Land lies in its expression of the awakening of questioning of the religious subject within sentient beings through the completion of the practice of the recitation of the name of the Buddha, which satisfies all aspirations and destroys the darkness of ignorance. Further, the comment, by drawing out Daochuo's interpretation in the second chapter of his Collection of Passages on [the Land of] Bliss, led Shinran to realize that Vasubandhu's expression, “I, with single mind,” is the completion of the three minds of the Original Vow, which caused Shinran to write his questions and answers regarding the three minds of the Original Vow and Vasubandhu's single mind in the “Chapter on Faith.”
