法華玄義釋籤 20.39

20.39

次增數明教中，所以立此門者，正言教門雖多，不出從實以開權、從權以合實，以此例知，一切教門大意可解。於中自二：先迹，次本。初迹中三，謂序、釋、結。初如文。次釋一法中又二：初正明開合，次總結。初又二：初從大一以開諸一，次從大一以開小一，皆先開次合。初言「一乘」者，皆取四教中大乘，故云「俱求佛果」。所言「本」者，即圓一乘也。次二法中二，先明開合，次總結。次三法中，但列二種三法，亦應論開合相，文略可見。次二種四法，如文。次五法中，亦二種不同，五中亦有橫竪二五，初列二五，次二開合。次六法中唯一種，便列七八，於中初列，次「初開」下示開合相。次七八二法者，於法相論開合，開即成八，合即成七。

Next, in explaining the teachings by incremental numbers, the reason for establishing this gate is precisely because although the doctrinal gates are many, they do not go beyond opening the provisional from the real and integrating the provisional into the real. Taking this as an example, the general import of all doctrinal gates can be understood. Within this there are naturally two parts: first the traces, next the origin. The first, the traces, has three parts: the preface, the explanation, and the conclusion. The first is as in the text. Next, in explaining the single dharma, there are also two parts: first, directly explaining opening and integrating; next, the general conclusion. The first also has two parts: first, opening the various ones from the great one; next, opening the small one from the great one; both first open and then integrate. When it first says "one vehicle," all take the Mahāyāna within the four teachings, hence it says "all seek the Buddha fruit." What is called the "origin" is the perfect one vehicle. Next, under the two dharmas, there are two parts: first explaining opening and integrating, and next the general conclusion. Next, under the three dharmas, it only lists two kinds of three dharmas; the characteristics of opening and integrating should also be discussed, and the text is brief and may be seen. Next, the two kinds of four dharmas are as in the text. Next, under the five dharmas, there are also two kinds that differ; within the five there are also horizontal and vertical fives: first it lists the two fives, and next the two openings and integratings. Next, under the six dharmas, there is only one kind, and it then lists seven and eight; within this, it first lists them, and next, from "First opening" onward, indicates the characteristics of opening and integrating. Next, as for the two dharmas of seven and eight, opening and integrating are discussed in terms of the characteristics of dharmas: opening becomes eight, and integrating becomes seven.
