法華玄義釋籤 10.24

10.24

言異義同。何者？空假為因，中道為果，從假入空為因中總相，從空入假為因中別相，別人修中初但總相為果上總，若入初地雙照二諦為果上別，當知四義與三不殊。

The words differ, but the meaning is the same. Why so? Emptiness and provisionality are the cause; the Middle Way is the fruit. Entering emptiness from provisionality is the general characteristic in the cause; entering provisionality from emptiness is the specific characteristic in the cause. When a person of the Separate cultivates the Middle, initially it is only the general characteristic, which is the general in the fruit; when entering the first bhūmi, illuminating both truths simultaneously, this is the specific in the fruit. One should know that the four meanings do not differ from the three.
