法華經義記 3.28

3.28

'Śāriputra, past buddhas': from here down is the second, explaining past buddhas opening the three and revealing the One. Below this, the [passages on the] three [times of] buddhas have only two meanings among the six meanings; they only open the three and reveal the One, lacking the other four meanings. Now, first explaining opening the three. Second, from 'Because these dharmas are all for the sake of the One Buddha Vehicle' down reveals the One. Below this, the [passages on the] three [times of] buddhas, in their revealing of the One, by rule all possess only three unities, abbreviating and omitting the unity of cause. The initial statement, 'Because these dharmas are all for the sake of the One Buddha Vehicle', is unity of teaching. 'These sentient beings, hearing the Dharma from the buddhas, ultimately': this is unity of persons. 'All attain omniscience': this is unity of fruition. Unity of cause is abbreviated and omitted.
