法華文句記 7.12

7.12

述僧首等三不求者，述昔失也。初失者，執小臘則大法全闕，不棄小由未識開三，自固則小執未移，護彼乃迷於大軌。第二失者，一生斷證，是故自鄙年高，敗種未袪，不任之見仍在。第三失者，昔迷義旨徒計正位之功，由斯固情大心難發。「高原」下引譬自斥，先譬、次合，已有得故所以不求。《經》云「但念」等者，亦可具依《俱舍》，出十六行以為所思。十六行對三空，如《止觀》第七記。「或指」至「為僧首不求」者，由居僧首，故於小大諸座久聞。「無量珍寶」者，昔般若領教謂為菩薩，豈圖於今全蒙等賜。「咨發」下「云云」者，應如世禮，欲有所決，須先諮發。

Setting forth the three non-seekings, such as being the head of the Saṅgha, recounts past faults. The first fault: clinging to the seniority of the Small, the Great Dharma was completely missing; failing to abandon the Small was because of not yet recognizing the opening of the three; self-hardening meant that adherence to the Small had not shifted; protecting others meant being confused about the great track. The second fault: severing [afflictions] and realizing [the fruit] in a single lifetime, they therefore despised themselves for their advanced age; the ruined seeds were not yet dispelled, and the view of being unfit remained. The third fault: formerly confused about the essential purport, they vainly reckoned the efficacy of the correct position; because of this stubborn attitude, the great aspiration was difficult to arouse. From "high plateau" onward, it cites a parable to rebuke oneself: first the parable, then the application; because they already had attainment, they therefore did not seek. When the sūtra says "only contemplating" and so forth: one may also rely fully on the *Kośa*, bringing out the sixteen aspects as what was contemplated. For the sixteen aspects contrasted with the three voids, see the notes to the seventh fascicle of *Great Calming and Contemplation*. From "or pointing to" to "being the head of the Saṅgha and not seeking": because they occupied the position of the head of the Saṅgha, they had long listened at various seats of both the Small and Great [teachings]. Regarding "immeasurable precious treasures": formerly, when receiving the teachings in the Prajñā [assemblies], they thought they were for bodhisattvas; how could they have expected that now they would completely receive them bestowed equally? Regarding "and so forth" under "consulting and addressing": following worldly etiquette, when wishing to resolve something, one must first consult and address.
