法華文句記 10.68

10.68

「又順理」下對治中約本門者，亦先釋、次結品。初釋中先隨、次喜。隨中先正釋，次「即廣」下結成觀相融通事理。三結成。初文先理、次事。先理者，若信長遠，信必依理，理與迹中妙理不殊，但指在久本功歸實證，理深時遠故云深遠。言「信順」者，於理聞久豈敢竊疑？故無一毫疑於久理。次「順事」者，秖是如來自從本成利物之相，迹中但有橫論化儀，本中須加久遠竪相，故以化久為竪、化廣為橫，中間節節遍十方故。「該亘」秖是橫竪遍耳。觀相者，非理無以能化，非化無以顯理，即施迹近事見遠本理，亦是本迹雖殊不思議一，雖一而本迹宛然，故云不二而二。

In the counteractive [siddhānta], from “further, according with principle” onward, which is in terms of the gate of origin, it also first explains and next concludes the chapter. In the first explanation, “accordance” comes first and “rejoicing” next. Within “accordance,” it first explains directly, next from “namely vast” onward concludes by forming the contemplation aspect that interpenetrates phenomenon and principle, and third forms the conclusion. In the first passage, principle comes first and phenomenon next. Principle comes first: if one has faith in the long and distant, faith must rely on principle; the principle is not different from the wondrous principle within the traces, but it directly points to the primordial origin, its merit reverting to actual realization. Because the principle is profound and the time is distant, it is called “profound and distant.” The words “having faith and according”: having heard of the origin regarding principle, how could one dare harbor doubt? Hence there is not the slightest doubt regarding the primordial principle. Next, “according with phenomenon” is simply the Tathāgata's aspects of benefiting beings ever since his original attainment [of buddhahood]. In the traces, there is only the horizontal discussion of the teaching protocol; in the origin, one must add the vertical aspect of long and distant antiquity. Thus, taking long transformation as vertical and vast transformation as horizontal, the intervals step by step pervade the ten directions. “Pervading and extending” is merely horizontal and vertical pervasion. Regarding the contemplation aspect: without principle, there is no way to transform; without transformation, there is no way to reveal principle. That is, by displaying the proximate phenomenon of traces, one sees the distant primordial principle; it is also that although origin and traces differ, they are an inconceivable unity; although one, origin and traces remain distinct; hence it says “non-dual yet dual.”
