法華文句記 7.8

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [7.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1719.7.8)

有引《婆沙》云：身子上、目連中，餘皆下者，其語似同彼小今實，文意永異不可雷同。《正法華》名「信樂品」，其義雖通樂不及解，今明領解何以云樂？

> Someone cites the \*Vibhāṣā\* saying: Śāriputra is superior, Maudgalyāyana is middling, and the rest are all inferior. These words appear similar, but that is Hinayana while the present is the real; their textual intents are eternally distinct and cannot be conflated. The \*Saddharmapuṇḍarīka\* translated by Dharmarakṣa titles this the "Chapter on Faith and Delight"; although its meaning is compatible, "delight" does not equal "understanding." Now, as this clarifies expressing understanding, why speak of delight?
