妙法蓮華經玄義 1.142

1.142

Second, regarding the siddhānta for each individual: The Great Sage contemplates the minds of people and preaches the Dharma for them. Because people's minds are each different, regarding a single matter he may permit it or not permit it. For example, due to mixed karma, one is born into the world in a mixed manner and obtains mixed contact and mixed feeling. Furthermore, the *Poqunna-sūtra* (*Phalguna-sūtra*) says that no person obtains contact and no person obtains feeling. Because two persons doubted the future life, disbelieved in sin and merit, and fell into annihilationism or eternalism, he made this statement. The secondary intention of this was to break attachment, while the primary aim was to produce faith. It increases good roots and bestows good dharmas upon them. Therefore it is called the siddhānta for each individual.
