法華文句記 7.62

7.62

次「遣旁人」者，約教約人，約教則理教相望，約人則師弟相望，人必指教、教必待人，二釋方周不可偏顯。初約教者，理即法身、智即報身，由智故說智為能遣，智雖能遣所依者理，能遣如臣、所依如王，所遣者教故理正教旁，故報望教報亦名正，然報由理成、理親報疎，故二正中從親以說。「又旁人者」下約人釋者，〈賢首品〉後〈十住品〉在忉利天，十慧菩薩法慧為首，餘之九慧各以偈讚，次法慧菩薩廣說十住；次〈夜摩天自在品〉有十林菩薩，九林亦各以偈讚已，功德林廣說十行；次〈升兜率品〉有十幢菩薩，九幢亦各以偈讚已，次金剛幢廣說十向；次〈升他化品〉有三十六藏菩薩，金剛藏為首，有菩薩名解脫月請說十地，是四菩薩說此位時，並云佛力故說，故名「所遣」。

Next, regarding "dispatching a bystander": this is explained in terms of the teaching and in terms of persons. In terms of the teaching, principle and teaching are viewed in relation to each other; in terms of persons, master and disciple are viewed in relation to each other. The person must point to the teaching, and the teaching must depend on the person; only with both interpretations is it complete, and one cannot show only one side. First, in terms of the teaching: principle is the dharmakāya, and wisdom is the sambhogakāya. Because of wisdom, it is spoken of; thus wisdom is that which can dispatch. Although wisdom can dispatch, that upon which it relies is principle: that which can dispatch is like a minister, and that upon which it relies is like a king. That which is dispatched is the teaching; therefore principle is primary and the teaching is secondary [or bystanding]. Thus, when the sambhogakāya is viewed in relation to the teaching, the sambhogakāya is also called primary. However, the sambhogakāya is accomplished through principle; principle is close while the sambhogakāya is distant. Therefore, of the two primaries, it is spoken of in terms of what is close. Regarding "furthermore, the bystander" downward, which is the explanation in terms of persons: following the "Chapter on Worthy Head," the "Chapter on the Ten Abodes" takes place in the Trāyastriṃśa Heaven, where the ten "Wisdom" Bodhisattvas are headed by Dharma-wisdom, and the other nine Wisdom [Bodhisattvas] each praise with verses; next, Bodhisattva Dharma-wisdom extensively explains the ten abodes. Next, the "Chapter on the Sovereign in the Yāma Heaven" has the ten "Forest" Bodhisattvas, where the nine Forests also each praise with verses, and then Merit-Forest extensively explains the ten practices. Next, the "Chapter on Ascending to Tuṣita" has the ten "Banner" Bodhisattvas, where the nine Banners also each praise with verses, and then Vajra-Banner extensively explains the ten dedications of merit. Next, the "Chapter on Ascending to Paranirmitavaśavartin" has thirty-six "Treasury" Bodhisattvas, headed by Vajragarbha; there is a bodhisattva named Mukticandra who requests the explanation of the ten stages. When these four bodhisattvas speak of these stages, all state that they speak through the Buddha's power; hence they are named "those who are dispatched."
