2.47

釋迦既名法華,餘之四佛並云「亦以」,故知同也。況妙法秖權實一體,四佛皆云「為令眾生得一切種智及開示悟入佛之知見」,故下釋云「開示悟入即其文也」,名同義同其意在此。

Since Śākyamuni named it the Lotus, and the remaining four buddhas all say "likewise using", we therefore know they are identical. Furthermore, the wonderful Dharma is simply the single substance of provisional and real; the four buddhas all say, "In order to cause sentient beings to attain the knowledge of all modes and to open, display, awaken to, and enter the Buddha's knowledge and vision," so the commentary below explains: "To open, display, awaken to, and enter is precisely that text." The identity of name and identity of meaning—their intent lies here.
