9.147

住三顯一者,此就佛權智,方便化物。尋念過去佛所行方便力,我今亦如是,即趣波羅柰,以方便力故,為五比丘說。過去諸佛,亦住三乘而顯一乘,今佛亦爾,故言更以異方便,助顯第一義。又昔於菩薩前毀訾聲聞,然佛實以大乘而得度脫。

'Abiding in the three and revealing the one' concerns the Buddha's provisional wisdom, transforming beings through expedients: 'Recalling the power of expedients practiced by past buddhas, I now likewise do so; immediately proceeding to Vārāṇasī, by the power of expedients, I preached for the five bhikṣus.' Past buddhas also abided in the tri-yāna to reveal the eka-yāna, and the present Buddha does likewise; hence it is said: 'Furthermore, by different expedients, he assists in revealing the paramārtha.' Furthermore, formerly before the bodhisattvas he disparaged the śrāvakas, yet the Buddha in truth delivers them through the Great Vehicle.
