妙法蓮華經玄義 1.20

1.20

Indicating the chapters makes them easy to remember and maintain, thereby giving rise to mindfulness. Citing attestations relies on the Buddha's words, thereby giving rise to faith. Arising in sequence prevents disorder, thereby giving rise to concentration. Opening and combining, critical assessment, harmonizing divergences, and so forth, give rise to wisdom. Contemplation of mind puts into practice immediately upon hearing, thereby giving rise to vigor. When the five minds are established, they form the five roots, expel the five hindrances, and form the five powers, leading up to entering the three gates of liberation. The brief explanation of the seven folds has this shared intent.
