法華文句記 3.17

3.17

「雖入開定」等者，開定之言仍前序意，未盡其旨故立雖言，意既在合定體豈違？常定尚未曾云從一出多，況誰曾云從多歸一？即開表合故與常殊。文殊引古既云「皆有此事」，故知一定二義不疑，故云何以證今？「豈可以」等者，古人不立說定為瑞，故通斥之，乃集經者大權所置，故非凡下之所測量。

Regarding "Although entering the open samādhi" and so forth: the phrase "open samādhi" still follows the intent of the preceding preface; because it has not yet exhausted its purport, the word "although" is posited. Since the intent lies in uniting, how could the essence of the samādhi be contrary? Ordinary samādhis have not yet been said to issue into the many from the one, much less has anyone ever said that from the many they return to the one. Expressing the united by means of the open, it therefore differs from the ordinary. Since Mañjuśrī cites antiquity, saying "all had this matter," we know without doubt that there are two meanings to the one samādhi; hence it says: how does this verify the present? Regarding "How could it be that..." and so forth: the ancients did not establish the expounding and the samādhi as portents, and therefore they are broadly rebuked; this was established by the great provisionality of the compiler of the sūtra, and hence is not something to be measured by ordinary people.
