妙法蓮華經文句 3.12

3.12

The sequential inquiry above belongs to the gradual path; the non-sequential belongs to the indeterminate path. Since it speaks of "various characteristics," how could it be limited to merely two paths, such that one could say it is complicated? These two rounds of six pāramitās—sequential and mixed—model the other lands opening the Tripiṭaka and later preaching the vaipulya twelve divisions of scripture, discriminating the characteristics of the six pāramitās, fully identical to this land without distinction.
