「是時」下說法名同中經中所歎與無量義辭句不殊。若釋此中教菩薩法等依前序義者,非正宗意;若作異名,與今不別,故無重敘。「行後無境」者,方等、般若種種行後,不見法華、涅槃之會,但見起塔供養之事,故云無境。是故「今文」下答出法華之會,即行後事也。

From 'at that time' downward, under the sameness of the names of the preached Dharmas, the praises in the sūtra are not different in words or phrases from the Immeasurable Meanings. If one explains 'a dharma to instruct bodhisattvas' and so forth here according to the previous meaning in the preface, that is not the intention of the main body of the sūtra; if treated as distinct names, they do not differ from the present, hence there is no repeated narration. Regarding 'no realm after practice,' after the various practices of the Vaipulya and Prajñā, one does not see the assembly of the Lotus or Nirvāṇa, but only sees the matters of raising stupas and making offerings; hence it says 'no realm.' Therefore, from 'the present text' downward, it answers by bringing forth the assembly of the Lotus, which is precisely the matter after practice.
