妙法蓮華經玄義 1.14

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [1.14](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.1.14)

所言妙者，褒美不可思議之法也。又妙者，十法界、十如之法。此法即妙，此妙即法，無二無別，故言妙也。又妙者，自行權實之法妙也，故舉蓮華而況之也。又妙者，即迹而本，即本而迹，即非本非迹，或為開廢（云云）。又妙者，最勝脩多羅甘露之門，故言妙也。

> What is called 'subtle' is the praise of the inconceivable dharma. Furthermore, 'subtle' refers to the dharmas of the ten dharma realms and the ten suchnesses. These dharmas are subtle, and this subtlety is the dharmas; there is neither duality nor distinction, hence it is called subtle. Furthermore, 'subtle' means that the dharmas of provisional and real in one's own practice are subtle; therefore the lotus flower is raised as a metaphor for it. Furthermore, 'subtle' means: identical to traces yet original source, identical to original source yet traces, identical to neither original source nor traces, whether for opening or abolishing (and so forth). Furthermore, 'subtle' means the gate of nectar of the most supreme sūtra, hence it is called subtle.
