法華玄義釋籤 16.18

16.18

次第二釋體中二：先總明來意，次開章正釋。初文又二：先正明來意，次「體者」下正明說體意。初文二：初對上名以明來意，次對下宗用以明來意。初言「總說」者，名含下三，三是總中之別，體又三中之別，未涉諸義，故頓點三軌之中體屬真性。次「真性」下對宗用，可知。次明說體意中四：初約部歎，次「非但」下約行解歎，三「文云」下引兩文證不可說，四「又云」下正明被機名為因緣。所言「眾義之都會」者，本迹二門皆歸實相，一代義旨咸契於體，餘如文。

Second, in explaining the substance, there are two parts: first, generally explaining the purpose of its introduction; second, opening the chapters to explain it properly. The first passage also has two parts: first, properly explaining the purpose of its introduction; second, from "Substance is" onward, properly explaining the intention behind speaking of substance. The first passage has two parts: first, explaining the purpose of its introduction in contrast with the preceding title; second, explaining the purpose of its introduction in contrast with the succeeding gist and function. In the first part, where it says "speaking generally," the title encompasses the three below; the three are the specific within the general, and substance is again the specific within the three; not yet having touched upon all the diverse meanings, within the sudden dotting of the three tracks, substance belongs to true nature. Next, from "true nature" onward, in contrast with gist and function, it can be understood. Next, in explaining the intention behind speaking of substance, there are four parts: first, praising it in terms of the text; second, from "not only" onward, praising it in terms of practice and understanding; third, from "The text says" onward, citing two passages to prove it is unspeakable; fourth, from "It also says" onward, properly explaining that responding to capacities is called causes and conditions. As for the statement "the confluence of all meanings": both the origin and trace doors return to the true mark, and the meanings and purports of an entire lifetime all accord with substance; the rest is as in the text.
