法華經義記 5.9

5.9

「若有眾生」此下是第三菩薩乘人，又作四階正合之。初言「從佛世尊聞法信受」，此即合第一階「心各勇銳」，生外凡夫善根也。「慇勤精進」，此是第二，即合「互相推排」，明菩薩聞佛說法，生內凡夫善根也。「求一切智」此下第三，即合上「競共馳走」，菩薩聞佛說法，進入無相行見諦思惟斷結也。「佛智」者，即是三乘中佛果也。「自然智」猶如前釋也。「無師智」者，正明斷習氣盡成無學果，呼無學智為無師智也。「是名大乘」，此是第四，即合上「諍出火宅」證無學果。「如彼諸子」下，即舉外譬帖合也。

"If there are sentient beings..." From here down is the third, regarding followers of the bodhisattva vehicle, again making a four-stage direct application. The initial words "hearing the Dharma from the Buddha, the World-Honoured One, they faithfully accept it" apply the first stage, "each eager and vigorous in heart," giving rise to the wholesome roots of an external ordinary person. "Diligent and vigorous" is the second, applying "pushing and jostling one another," clarifying that when a bodhisattva hears the Buddha preach the Dharma, they give rise to the wholesome roots of an internal ordinary person. From "seeking omniscience" downwards is the third, applying the above "vying with each other to run out": hearing the Buddha preach the Dharma, a bodhisattva advances into signless practice and severs fetters through contemplation on the vision of truth. "Buddha-wisdom" is the Buddha-fruit within the three vehicles. "Unprompted wisdom" is explained as before. "Teacherless wisdom" directly clarifies that by completely severing habit-energies, one accomplishes the fruit of a non-learner; the wisdom of a non-learner is called teacherless wisdom. "This is called the Great Vehicle" is the fourth, applying the above "scrambling out of the burning house," realizing the fruit of a non-learner. From "Just like those sons..." downwards, it cites the external parable and attaches the application.
