妙法蓮華經玄義 6.46

6.46

三、就十法界論機應不同者，秖約一人身業機具三十六，約三業即有一百八機。約三世、三業，則有三百二十四。一界既爾，十法界即有三千二百四十機應不同。就自行既爾，化他亦然，合則六千四百八十機應，此就歷別十法界。如此，若就十法界交互則增九倍，都六萬四千八百機應也。

Third, in discussing the differences in spiritual capacity and response with respect to the ten dharma realms: regarding just the bodily action of one person, spiritual capacity comprises thirty-six [phrases]; regarding the three actions, there are one hundred and eight spiritual capacities. Regarding the three periods of time and the three actions, there are three hundred and twenty-four. Since this is so for one realm, the ten dharma realms then have three thousand two hundred and forty differences in spiritual capacity and response. Since this is so with respect to one's own practice, it is likewise so for converting others; combined, there are six thousand four hundred and eighty spiritual capacities and responses. This is considered with respect to the ten dharma realms successively. Thus, if considered with respect to the mutual interpenetration of the ten dharma realms, it increases ninefold, totaling sixty-four thousand eight hundred spiritual capacities and responses.
