法華玄義釋籤 14.11

14.11

次明支佛又三：先略明行相，次「此人」下略明機應，三結位。與聲聞共為中草，故云「猶」也。次言「華飛釧動」者，論云：「有國王觀華飛葉動得辟支佛」。「釧動」者，《禪經》云：「有國王令宮女摩身為鐶釧鬧，令漸漸減釧，乃至唯一則不復聲，因思此聲從因緣生悟辟支佛。亦如獼猴見支佛坐禪，後於餘處見諸外道種種苦行，乃教外道跏趺而坐，手捻其口合其眼。諸外道歎云：必有勝法。外道受教，皆證支佛。」

Next, explaining the pratyekabuddhas also has three parts: first, briefly explaining the marks of practice; next, from “this person” onward, briefly explaining the capacities and responses; third, concluding with the stages. Together with the śrāvakas they constitute the intermediate herbs, hence it says “still.” Next, as for the words “flowers fluttering and bracelets clinking,” the treatise says: “There was a king who observed flowers fluttering and leaves moving, and attained pratyekabuddhahood.” As for “bracelets clinking,” the Meditation Sūtra says: “There was a king who had court ladies massage his body, and the bangles and bracelets made a clamor; he had them gradually remove the bracelets until only a single one remained, whereupon it made no more sound; contemplating that this sound arose from causes and conditions, he awakened to pratyekabuddhahood. It is also like the monkey who saw a pratyekabuddha sitting in meditation, and later, seeing various non-Buddhists practicing various austerities in another place, taught the non-Buddhists to sit cross-legged, pinch their mouths with their hands, and close their eyes. The non-Buddhists marveled and said: ‘This must be an extraordinary teaching.’ The non-Buddhists accepted the instruction and all realized pratyekabuddhahood.”
