法華玄義釋籤 12.38

12.38

次「機既」下應中不列根本直列一十六句，據機中自列根本，應中合有，但是文略。次結中云「三十六句」者，若準此取前文四句為根本，若取機中四句，更列應中四句，即應四十句。三就十界中云「就自行既爾化他亦然」者，自行化他俱能感佛故也。若分善惡自他，俱有生善滅惡，是故善惡並得為機。言「交互」者，且約自行，如地獄中有九界機，乃至佛界亦復如是。

Next, from 'Since capacity is' downward, under response it does not list the roots but directly lists the sixteen propositions. Since capacity itself lists the roots, response ought to have them as well, but the text is merely abbreviated. Next, in the conclusion, as for saying 'thirty-six propositions,' if conforming to this, it takes the preceding four propositions as the root; if one takes the four propositions of capacity and additionally lists the four propositions of response, there should be forty propositions. Third, in regard to the ten realms, as for saying 'since it is so for one's own practice, it is also thus for converting others,' both one's own practice and converting others can stimulate the Buddha. If distinguishing good and evil, both self and other have generating good and eliminating evil; therefore, both good and evil can serve as capacity. As for 'mutual interaction,' speaking for now of one's own practice, just as within the hell realm there are the capacities of the nine realms, up to the Buddha realm it is also like this.
