妙法蓮華經玄義 2.70

2.70

今將迹之絕妙，妙上眾生法；將本地之絕妙，妙上佛法；將觀心之絕妙，妙上心法。前四絕橫約四教；今三絕竪約圓教（云云）。

Now we take the cut-off subtlety of the traces to subtilise the phenomena of sentient beings; we take the cut-off subtlety of the original ground to subtilise the Buddha-dharma; we take the cut-off subtlety of the contemplation of mind to subtilise the phenomena of mind. The previous four cut-offs horizontally correspond to the four teachings; these three cut-offs vertically correspond to the perfect teaching (and so forth).
