妙法蓮華經玄義 9.40

9.40

是十種觀，經文具足。「是法不可示，言辭相寂滅，諸餘眾生類，無有能得解。」又「我法妙難思」，即不思議境。於一切眾生中起大慈心，於非菩薩中起大悲心，「我得三菩提時，以神通力、智慧力引之，令得住是法中」，即正發心也。「佛自住大乘，如其所得法，定慧力莊嚴」，即是安於二法，自成成他也。破有法王，即是破法遍也。又如日月光明能除諸幽瞑，「斯人行世間，能破眾生闇」，即破法遍也。「有一導師，將導眾人，明了心決定，在嶮濟眾難」，善知通塞也。淨藏淨眼，善修三十七品諸波羅蜜，即是兩意也。增道損生，遊於四方，即是識次位也。安住不動如須彌頂，著如來衣，即安忍也。雖聞是諸聲，聽之而不著，其意等六根，皆言清淨若此，又云真淨大法，即無法愛也。是十種觀散在經文而人不知，今撮聚十數，入有門為觀，乃至三門，小異大同，十觀入實，亦復如是。

These ten modes of contemplation are fully present in the sūtra text: 'This Dharma cannot be shown; the characteristics of words are extinguished in it; among all other classes of living beings, there is none who can understand it'; and 'My Dharma is subtle and difficult to conceive'—these refer to the inconceivable object. Raising a mind of great loving-kindness toward all sentient beings, and raising a mind of great compassion toward those who are not bodhisattvas: 'When I attain sambodhi, I will lead them by the power of supernormal faculties and the power of wisdom, causing them to dwell in this Dharma'—this is generating the correct mind. 'The Buddha himself abides in the Great Vehicle; as is the Dharma he has attained, so is he adorned with the powers of meditation and wisdom'—this is abiding in the two dharmas, perfecting oneself and perfecting others. Destroying the Dharma King of existence is shattering dharmas everywhere. Furthermore, just as the light of the sun and moon can dispel all darkness, 'when this person moves through the world, he can dispel the darkness of sentient beings'—this too is shattering dharmas everywhere. 'There is a guide who leads the multitude, with a clear and determined mind, rescuing them from manifold difficulties in the precipitous pass'—this is being skilled in knowing passage and blockage. Pure Storehouse and Pure Eye skillfully cultivating the thirty-seven factors [of awakening] and all the pāramitās—these are the two purports. Increasing the path and decreasing birth, roaming in the four directions—this is recognising the stages of rank. Abiding unmoving like the peak of Mount Sumeru, wearing the Tathāgata's robe—this is calm endurance. Although hearing these sounds, listening to them without clinging, and his mind and other six sense faculties are all said to be purified like this; and furthermore it is called the 'truly pure Great Dharma'—this is being free from attachment to the Dharma. These ten modes of contemplation are scattered throughout the sūtra text, yet people do not realise it. Now I have gathered the ten items together: entering through the gate of existence to perform contemplation, and likewise for the other three gates, with minor differences and major similarities, entering reality through the ten contemplations is also like this.
