法華經義記 4.48

4.48

問者言：「若盡無生為車體者，今得羅漢時，義主常言于時已證得無生智，然羅漢報身是三界內法，若爾即是三界證此二智，是則二智即是三界內法，云何言三車在門外耶？」解釋者言：「證二智時實如來旨，不得稱此二智是三界內法。何以知然？此二智起時必緣境而生，緣三界因盡，即是出三界外；心照三界果亡，亦是出三界外意，是故緣境界義別，故知非是三界內法也。」

The questioner says: "If the knowledge of exhaustion and [the knowledge of] non-arising constitute the substance of the carts, then when the state of an arhat is attained, the master of doctrine always says that at that time one has already realized the knowledge of non-arising. However, an arhat's retribution body is a dharma within the three realms. If so, then it is within the three realms that these two knowledges are realized; hence, these two knowledges are dharmas within the three realms. Why then say that the three carts are outside the gate?" The interpreter says: "The time of realizing the two knowledges is indeed as the questioner states, yet one cannot call these two knowledges dharmas within the three realms. How is this known to be so? When these two knowledges arise, they necessarily arise conditioning an object: conditioning the exhaustion of the causes of the three realms, this is exiting outside the three realms; the mind illuminating the demise of the effects of the three realms is also the sense of exiting outside the three realms. Therefore, because the conditioned objective realm has a distinct meaning, we know that they are not dharmas within the three realms."
