法華文句記 3.11

3.11

彼佛讓王子結緣，今佛但羅云通化，結緣義同通化何妨？故使今佛序定兼正，即成先定後說也。智定相成前後何在？若爾，彼佛前定豈不含兩，準有疑念彼此皆然。

That Buddha deferred to the princes to form karmic connections, whereas the present Buddha merely has Rāhula to transmit the transformation. Forming karmic connections is identical in meaning to transmitting the transformation—what harm is there? Hence, the present Buddha's preface concentration embraces the main body, thereby becoming entering concentration first and preaching afterward. Since wisdom and concentration mutually accomplish each other, where is there before and after? If so, did that Buddha's prior concentration not also contain both? Incurring doubts and reflections is equally true of both.
