2.57

次明二智用有興廢,第四權智昔興今廢,實智今興昔廢。何以知之?昔日鹿苑說三乘別教,于時唯是權智用事、實智則廢,今日王城之說明一因一果實相之理,此則實智興於今日、權智廢今日。然則互有廢興,此是涉用化物有此興廢也。

Next, the function of the two knowledges having arising and cessation is explained. Fourth, expedient knowledge arose formerly and has ceased today; real knowledge arises today and ceased formerly. How is this known? Formerly, in the Deer Park, the distinct teachings of the three vehicles were expounded; at that time, only expedient knowledge was at work, and real knowledge was set aside. Today, the exposition in the Royal City clarifies the principle of the real mark of one cause and one fruition; thus real knowledge arises today, and expedient knowledge has ceased today. Therefore they mutually have cessation and arising; this is because in applying their function to transform beings, there is this arising and cessation.
