法華文句記 5.159

5.159

法譬通被，中下自迷，故下根聞法譬、中根聞法說，雖未顯悟非無冥益，故至譬及宿世獲悟，故約教等三咸須約譬。譬既三車一車今昔相對，法亦若權若實並列偏圓。若不爾者，開何所開？本許三車索而不與，及至為說等賜大車，當知其車本為三一，為物方便權立三名，出宅廢權破三唯一。

Dharma and parable pervade all recipients, yet the medium and lower are deluded themselves. Therefore, when those of lower capacity hear dharma and parable, and those of medium capacity hear the explanation of dharma, although they do not have manifest awakening, they are not without hidden benefit. Therefore, coming to the parable and their past lives, they attain awakening. Thus, the three, such as in terms of the teachings, must all be treated in terms of the parable. Since the parables have three carts and one cart, with present and past contrasted, the dharma also arrays the provisional and the real alongside the one-sided and the perfect. If not so, what would be opened? Originally promising three carts, they sought them but were not given them; when it came to speaking for them, he equally bestowed the great cart. One should know that the carts are originally three and one: for the sake of beings, as a skillful means, three names were provisionally established; leaving the mansion, the provisional is abandoned, and the three are destroyed to become solely the one.
