仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.618

3.618

Explanation: "At that time, all..." and so forth refers to the assembly that heard [the Dharma] together. The first two are heavenly flowers; the latter two are flowers among humans. If these are real flowers, they should be understood according to the text; if they are magically manifested, it should be known in accordance with the above. "According to their spiritual disposition" means the dispositions of the three vehicles. Attaining the three gates of liberation and the emptiness of persons are shared attainments of the three vehicles. As for "the emptiness of phenomena," only the Great Vehicle attains it. "The factors of awakening" are also shared across the three vehicles, fully as explained before. That the Dharma of prajñā yields the fruits of the three vehicles is as stated in fascicle 593 of the *Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra*, where Suvikrāntavikrāmin says: "We only pray that the World-Honoured One will have pity on us and fully expound the Tathāgata's object and cognition. If there are classes of sentient beings whose dispositions are fixed in the Śrāvaka Vehicle, upon hearing this Dharma they will quickly be able to realize their own uncontaminated stage. If their dispositions are fixed in the Pratyekabuddha Vehicle, upon hearing this Dharma they will quickly rely on their own vehicle to emerge [from saṃsāra]. If their dispositions are fixed in the Unsurpassed Vehicle, upon hearing this Dharma they will quickly realize anuttarasamyaksaṃbodhi. And even for those whose dispositions are not fixed among the three vehicles, upon hearing this Dharma they will quickly produce the mind of unsurpassed complete awakening." Thus, the Dharma of prajñā is not only for the Great Vehicle, but also enables the two vehicles to obtain their own fruits. From here, the second part is the bodhisattvas obtaining benefits. The text is again divided into two: first, obtaining the various superior kṣāntis.
