法華文句記 8.107

8.107

次「破此」下依今經正釋，先引「於一佛乘分別說三」，證即一之三，次引「汝等所行是菩薩道」，證即三之一，即為一施三之一三，乃是開三顯一之三一。前句騰昔，故云「分別說三」，次句顯今，故云「是菩薩道」，昔教未說故三一尚隔，不云相顯三是一三一是三一。由今說已一外無三，此三為一家之三，即是以昔一外之三，全成一家之三，故云「以三顯三」。既開成一，三外無一，還是三家之一，即是以昔三外之一，全成即三之一，故云「以一顯一」。故知由體外之三顯即一之三，由三外之一顯即三之一。次「三一既不」下判結，欲開下文因緣三一，故先判之。言「三一既不相異」者，判向開顯全屬因緣。言「因緣」者，秖是感應化儀，亦名修得。

Next, from "refuting this" downward, it explains correctly relying on the present sūtra: first, it cites "within the one Buddha vehicle, discriminatively expounding the three" to prove the three that are identical to the one; next, it cites "that which you practice is the bodhisattva path" to prove the one that is identical to the three; that is, the one and three of bestowing the three for the sake of the one are precisely the three and one of opening the three and revealing the one. The former phrase takes up the past, hence saying "discriminatively expounding the three"; the next phrase reveals the present, hence saying "is the bodhisattva path"; because the past teachings did not expound this, the three and the one were still separated, and it was not said that they mutually revealed, that the three is the one or the one is the three. Because the present has expounded it, outside the one there are no three; these three are the three belonging to the one; that is, by means of the three outside the one from the past, they completely become the three belonging to the one; hence it says "revealing the three by means of the three." Since they have been opened to become the one, outside the three there is no one, which is still the one belonging to the three; that is, by means of the one outside the three from the past, it completely becomes the one identical to the three; hence it says "revealing the one by means of the one." Therefore we know that by means of the three outside the essence, the three identical to the one are revealed; by means of the one outside the three, the one identical to the three is revealed. Next, from "since the three and the one are not..." downward, it determines and concludes: wishing to introduce the three and one of causes and conditions below, it first determines it. Saying "since the three and the one are not different": this determines that the previous opening and revealing belongs entirely to causes and conditions. "Causes and conditions" is merely the stimulus and response of the transformative methods, and is also called acquired through cultivation.
