妙法蓮華經文句 8.40

8.40

Answer: In that it has not opened the expedient, from that aspect it is far. Bodhisattvas of initial practice do not perceive Prajñā's secret conversion in bestowing the wealth, so for them it is far. Now, the real wisdom and expedients of Prajñā are the mother and father of the Dharma-bodies of the buddhas of the three periods. Seekers of buddhahood are like an old or sick person: when supported by two strong individuals, they can go everywhere far away. One should know that Prajñā is supreme. The Lotus's opening the expedient is no different from Prajñā's revealing the real; there is no Lotus apart from Prajñā—Lotus and Prajñā are merely different names. Since these are differing interpretations of various masters, I have simply recorded them.
