金剛般若波羅蜜經略疏 1.5

1.5

第三、教下所詮宗趣及能詮教體者，有二：一總明宗趣，此經即用三種般若：一實相般若、二觀照般若、三文字般若。所以知者，為下經文具明理行及教三義故。第二別明宗趣者，有五義：第一教義相對，用教為宗、以義為趣。第二因果相對，以因為宗、用果為趣，為下文中所住及修行并調伏竝約成因行義故。第三人法相對者，用法為宗、以人為趣，為依法成佛故。第四理事相對者，以理為宗、用事為趣。第五境行相對，以境為宗、以行為趣，立境教欲成其行故也。第二能詮教體者，若約一乘，以唯識真如為體，不可以分別智知故；若約三乘，有二義：一同小乘教、二同一乘教，具如經論。

Third, as for the central doctrine and purport conveyed by the teaching and the essence of the teaching that conveys them, there are two: first, generally clarifying the central doctrine and purport: this sūtra takes the three kinds of prajñā: first, true-mark prajñā; second, contemplative prajñā; third, literary prajñā. How this is known is because the text of the sūtra below fully explains the three meanings of principle, practice, and teaching. Second, specifically clarifying the central doctrine and purport, there are five aspects: first, relative contrast of teaching and meaning: taking teaching as the central doctrine and meaning as the purport. Second, relative contrast of cause and effect: taking cause as the central doctrine and effect as the purport, because the abiding, cultivating, and subduing spoken of below all complete the meaning of causal practice. Third, relative contrast of person and dharma: taking dharma as the central doctrine and person as the purport, because one attains buddhahood by relying on the dharma. Fourth, relative contrast of principle and phenomena: taking principle as the central doctrine and phenomena as the purport. Fifth, relative contrast of realm and practice: taking the realm as the central doctrine and practice as the purport, because establishing the realm of teaching is intended to complete its practice. Second, regarding the essence of the teaching that conveys them: if according to the One Vehicle, it takes vijñapti-mātra and tathatā as its essence, because it cannot be known by discriminative wisdom; if according to the Three Vehicles, there are two meanings: first, identical with the Hīnayāna teaching; second, identical with the One Vehicle teaching, fully as in the sūtras and treatises.
