妙法蓮華經玄義 3.28

3.28

Second, regarding categories: worldly wisdom has no path, grasping false views and deluded attachments, with mental activity outside principle, neither believing nor entering, and is therefore one [category]. The fivefold stopping of the mind and the four stations of mindfulness have already entered the flavor of the Buddhadharma of initial worthies, and both are external ordinary beings, and are therefore one. The four wholesome roots are alike internal ordinary beings, and are therefore one. The four fruits alike perceive the real, and are therefore one. The pratyekabuddha's distinctive contemplation can invade residual habits, and is therefore one. For the six perfections, the wisdom directed toward principle is weak while the wisdom directed toward phenomena is strong, and it is therefore one. The expedient śrāvaka of the shared teaching has superior wisdom in embodying phenomena, and is therefore one. The pratyekabuddha is slightly superior still, and is therefore one. The expedient wisdom of the bodhisattva of the shared teaching entering the real studies all four gates, and is therefore one. The wisdom of the bodhisattva of the shared teaching emerging into the provisional takes the conventional as its primary object, and is therefore one. The wisdom of the ten faiths of the distinctive teaching first knows the middle way, superior to the former and inferior to the latter, and is therefore one. The thirty minds of the distinctive teaching are all internal ordinary beings, and are therefore one. The ten stages are alike noble wisdom, and are therefore one. The Buddha of the Tripiṭaka is the designation of the teacher's rank, superior to the disciples of the three vehicles, and is therefore one. The buddha wisdom of the shared teaching is superior in severing defilements and illuminating capacities, and is therefore one. The buddha wisdom of the distinctive teaching is superior still, and is therefore one. The disciples of the five grades of the perfect teaching alike possess the nature of defilement yet can know the Tathāgata's secret treasury, and are therefore one. The wisdom of the purification of the six sense faculties borders on the real, and is therefore one. From the initial abode to equal enlightenment, they alike destroy ignorance, and are therefore one. The buddha wisdom of wondrous enlightenment is unsurpassed and most venerable, and is therefore one. Classifying similar ones in this way according to their categories, either separating or combining them, they are distinguished into twenty (and so forth).
