妙法蓮華經玄義 5.97

5.97

If there is a practitioner who, only after traversing all teachings, the four parables, and the five flavors, finally enters the perfect teaching to be killed in ghee, this is destroying the three and revealing the one, being wonderful by mutual contrast. If placing poison into milk kills at every single flavor, this is opening the provisional and revealing the real, seeing the middle path immediately within all phenomena. Hence the text says: "What you are practicing is the bodhisattva path." There is no need to change roads or alter tracks to seek the real: the crude is immediately seen as wonderful. Therefore, the placing of poison is used as an analogy.
