妙法蓮華經文句 10.98

10.98

佛誡者，然法身大士故不肅而成，所將眷屬或未達者，故寄彼而規此耳。夫佛身與理相稱，不得見卑小而忘其尊嚴，此約如來座為誡也。夫師及弟子智斷具足，師既施權、弟子亦隱其實，此約如來衣為誡也。夫依報國土皆正報所感，如來以慈臨大千，宜須高須下，勿覩依報而忽正報也，此約如來室為誡也。此佛弘經亦勅三意，彼尊誡約諸佛道同也。受旨者，「如來力」是座力，「神通力」是室力，「莊嚴力」是衣力，此受弘經之大旨利物之宗要，故能不動此會，遊化十方焉。

Regarding the Buddha's admonition: now, a great being of the Dharma-body accomplishes without being stern, but among the retinue he leads there may be those who have not yet arrived at understanding, so [the Buddha] uses that [setting] to regulate this. Now, the Buddha's body corresponds with the principle; one must not, seeing it as lowly and small, forget its dignity—this is an admonition regarding the Tathāgata's seat. Now, teacher and disciple are complete in wisdom and severance; the teacher having displayed the expedient, the disciple also conceals his reality—this is an admonition regarding the Tathāgata's robe. Now, the circumstantial reward of the land is entirely induced by the direct reward; the Tathāgata looks upon the great trichiliocosm with compassion, whether high or low as appropriate, so one must not look upon the circumstantial reward and neglect the direct reward—this is an admonition regarding the Tathāgata's room. This Buddha, in propagating the sūtra, also commands with these three intentions; that Honoured One's admonitions show that the path of all buddhas is the same. Receiving the instructions: the "power of the Tathāgata" is the power of the seat; the "power of spiritual penetration" is the power of the room; the "power of adornment" is the power of the robe. Having received the great principles of propagating the sūtra and the cardinal essentials of benefiting beings, he is able, without moving from this assembly, to wander and convert throughout the ten directions.
