妙法蓮華經玄義 3.6

3.6

Correlating the four kinds of four noble truths with the ten suchnesses: The two kinds of suffering and origination—of arising and perishing, and of non-arising—are the ten suchnesses of the six destinies. Such characteristic and such nature are origination. Such substance is suffering. Such function, power, cause, and condition are again origination. Such fruit and retribution are again suffering (and so forth). The two kinds of path and cessation—of arising and perishing, and of non-arising—are the ten suchnesses of the analytical and phenotypic two vehicles, as well as the shared bodhisattva. Such characteristic and nature are the path. Such substance is cessation. Such power, function, cause, and condition are all the path. Such fruit and retribution are again cessation. The two kinds of suffering and origination—of the immeasurable and of unconstructed action—are the ten suchnesses of the fruit and retribution outside the realm for the four noble ones. The truth of origination is such characteristic, nature, power, function, cause, and condition outside the realm. The truth of suffering is such substance, fruit, retribution, etc., outside the realm (and so forth). The two kinds of path and cessation—of the immeasurable and of unconstructed action—are the ten suchnesses of nirvāṇa outside the realm for the four noble ones. The truth of the path is the nature, characteristic, power, function, cause, condition, etc., of nirvāṇa, and is also wisdom and liberation. The truth of cessation is the substance, fruit, retribution, etc., of nirvāṇa, and also constitutes the eternally abiding dharma-kāya (and so forth).
