法華文句記 4.29

4.29

繫在面上，故云在前。論中初有眉間亦然。又云：無始已來，男女相視起於欲想，多在面故。又云：眼等五根能生欲心，說之可知。今文分在前、在面以為兩釋，義立故也。初在前文作所表釋，即四悉意。次約在面義立四釋，即四教意。初有背有向即世界，觀寂定生即為人，背生死惡即對治，寂滅有理即第一義。次約教中不淨觀成灼然初教，與空相應豈非通教，為分別故豈非別教，實相即是圓教意也。

Fixing it upon the face is why it says "in front." In the treatise, initially having between the eyebrows is also like this. Furthermore, it says: from beginningless time, men and women looking at each other give rise to thoughts of desire, which are mostly on the face. Furthermore, it says: the five faculties such as the eyes can give rise to the mind of desire, which can be understood as stated. Now the text divides "in front" and "on the face" into two explanations, because of establishing their meaning. First, regarding the text on "in front," it makes an explanation of what is represented, which is the intention of the four siddhāntas. Next, regarding "on the face," it establishes four explanations based on meaning, which is the intention of the four teachings. First, having turning away and facing toward is the mundane; contemplating calm concentration arising is the individual; turning away from the evil of birth and death is the counteractive; calm extinction possessing principle is the supreme truth. Next, regarding the teachings: the perfection of the contemplation of impurity is distinctly the initial teaching; corresponding with emptiness, how could it not be the shared teaching? For distinguishing, how could it not be the separate teaching? True character is precisely the intention of the perfect teaching.
