妙法蓮華經玄義 5.14

5.14

The virtues of perfect faith in these five grades cannot be compared even to the east, west, and eight directions. Although this is the initial mind, it surpasses the virtues of the śrāvaka non-trainees, fully as stated in the sūtra. If one wishes to compare and determine it for comprehension, it is analogous to the specific and collective four stations of mindfulness of the Tripiṭaka school. Inferred by meaning, it is like the dry-wisdom ground of the shared teaching, and also like the stage of subdued patience. Inferred by meaning, it can also be the stage of the ten faiths of the distinctive teaching (and so forth).
