妙法蓮華經玄義 9.20

9.20

若有為門，從門證果，三德具足，不縱不橫，亦因如是一法門具足一切法門，通至佛地。《華嚴》云：「從初一地具足諸地功德。」《大品》云：「初阿字具足四十一字功德。」三門亦如是，是為圓四門相。復次，別門說果不縱，圓門說果縱，或前或後，判圓別相，例前（云云）。

If existence is taken as the gate and one realizes the fruit through this gate, the three virtues are replete, neither sequential nor distinct, and the causes are also like this: a single dharma gate is replete with all dharma gates, extending through to the buddha-ground. The Avataṃsaka says: 'From the initial first ground, one is replete with the merits of all grounds.' The Pañcaviṃśati says: 'The initial syllable A is replete with the merits of the forty-one syllables.' The other three gates are also like this; these are the characteristics of the perfect four gates. Furthermore, whether the distinctive gate speaks of the fruit not being sequential and the perfect gate speaks of the fruit being sequential, before or after, discerning the characteristics of perfect and distinctive is patterned on the above (and so forth).
