法華文句記 7.56

7.56

雖機生由佛，感亦由生，且寄世長者歎子自來，昔機不生望今可發，應歎機發稱為自來。若機尚生追猶不至，安能自來？

Although the arising of capacity is due to the Buddha, resonance is also due to living beings; temporarily drawing on the worldly elder, he sighs that the son came on his own. In the past the capacity did not arise, but looking to today it can be brought forth; he should sigh at the bringing forth of the capacity and call it 'coming on his own'. If, when the capacity was still arising, pursuing him still did not bring him, how could he have come on his own?
