妙法蓮華經文句 8.24

8.24

事一往論，必須登堂整服坐座，乃可敷弘，故約三耳。又事理合論，夫迷惑不出三種：一、約苦果起惑，二、約結業起惑，三、約諦理起惑，故用三門而示導之。又約理，迷真故墮苦，故用慈悲門；迷俗故沈空受樂，故用和忍門；迷中故成智障，故用空門（云云）。

Generally speaking in terms of phenomenal affairs, one must ascend the hall, straighten one's robes, and take one's seat before one can unfold and proclaim [the teaching]; therefore it is explained with reference to these three. Furthermore, speaking in terms of combining phenomenal affairs and principle: delusions do not exceed three kinds: first, giving rise to delusion in relation to painful retribution; second, giving rise to delusion in relation to binding karma; third, giving rise to delusion in relation to the principle of truths; therefore these three approaches are used to guide and instruct them. Furthermore, with reference to principle: being deluded about the real causes one to fall into suffering, hence the approach of loving-kindness and compassion is used; being deluded about the conventional causes one to sink into emptiness and indulge in bliss, hence the approach of harmonious forbearance is used; being deluded about the middle causes one to form cognitive obscurations, hence the approach of emptiness is used (and so on).
