妙法蓮華經玄義 10.196

10.196

今之四教與達摩二藏，會通云何？彼自云要而攝之，略唯二種。今開分之，判為四教耳：聲聞藏即三藏教也；菩薩藏即通、別、圓教也。為決定聲聞說三藏教；為退大聲聞說通教；為漸悟菩薩說別教；為頓悟菩薩說圓教。非唯名數易融，而義意玄合，今古符契，一無二焉。唯文略而義廣，教一而蔽諸。若申隱以使顯，須多作論義。如捕獵川澤、饒結筌罤，豈漁獵者好博耶？不得已而博耳。

How are the present four teachings integrated and reconciled with Dharma[kṣema's] two piṭakas? He himself said that summarizing them in brief, there are only two kinds. Now we unpack and divide them, classifying them into four teachings: the śrāvaka-piṭaka is the tripiṭaka teaching; the bodhisattva-piṭaka is the shared, distinctive, and perfect teachings. For determined śrāvakas, the tripiṭaka teaching is spoken; for śrāvakas who regressed from the great, the shared teaching is spoken; for gradually awakening bodhisattvas, the distinctive teaching is spoken; for suddenly awakening bodhisattvas, the perfect teaching is spoken. Not only are the terms and numbers easily integrated, but their doctrinal purport aligns profoundly; past and present tally together, being one without duality. It is only that his text was brief while its meaning was broad, and his teaching was one yet encompassed the others. If one is to unfold what is hidden to make it manifest, one must construct many theoretical arguments. Just as in hunting and fishing in rivers and marshes one knits abundant fish traps and snares—how could it be that fishermen and hunters love expansiveness? It is only out of necessity that they are expansive.
