仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.189

2.189

Question: Both the two vehicles and non-Buddhists are what is surpassed; why was transcending the two vehicles mentioned previously, and surpassing non-Buddhists mentioned here, out of order in terms of superior and inferior? Answer: Because the mind is generated suddenly, one immediately transcends the two vehicles; regarding practice as gradual cultivation, one subsequently surpasses non-Buddhists. Furthermore, this having already surpassed is not yet the definitive surpassing, just as the second dhyāna is called the departure from suffering. Third from here is explaining the path lineage. The text has three parts as before; first is designating the stage and discerning its characteristics.
