妙法蓮華經玄義 4.180

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [4.180](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1716.4.180)

佛地如前說。此佛與三藏佛，亦同亦異。同八十年，同入真灰斷也。異者，三藏因伏果斷，通佛因果俱斷。三藏一日三時照機，通佛即俗而真，照不須入也。是則用別名辨位，名異義同，猶屬通教位也。

> The Buddha stage is as explained before. This buddha is both identical to and different from the buddha of the tripiṭaka \[teaching\]. They are identical in \[living for\] eighty years and equally entering the real through ashes and extinction. As for the difference: the tripiṭaka \[buddha\] subdues in the cause and severs in the fruit, while the shared buddha severs in both cause and fruit. The tripiṭaka \[buddha\] illuminates capacities three times a day, whereas the shared buddha \[finds that\] the conventional is itself the real, so illumination requires no entering. Thus, in determining stages by using distinctive names, the names differ but the meaning is the same; they still belong to the stages of the shared teaching.
