法華經義記 3.10

3.10

Furthermore, within the first [part], doubting the Buddha's praise of the two knowledges, there are two: first, "Each had this thought: 'Now, for what reason does the World-Honoured One earnestly praise skilful means?'" This doubts Śākya's praise of expedient knowledge above. Śākya's praise of expedient knowledge above was where he said: "Śāriputra, since I attained Buddhahood, through various causes and conditions and various parables I have broadly expounded the verbal teachings"; they should also have doubted Śākya's praise of real knowledge above, but the text is abbreviated and does not mention it. Second, from "and made such a statement: 'The Dharma attained by the Buddha is profound and subtle'" onward, they doubt the praise of the two knowledges of all Buddhas above; this clause doubts the praise of the real knowledge of all Buddhas, corresponding to where it was said above: "He addressed Śāriputra: The wisdom of the Buddhas is profound and immeasurable." "Whatever is spoken, its intention is difficult to know": this doubts the praise of the expedient knowledge of all Buddhas above, corresponding to where it was said above: "The gateway of their wisdom is difficult to understand and difficult to enter; all śrāvakas cannot know it"; now it corresponds with this clause.
