法華文句記 9.115

9.115

第五「被加」等者，《華嚴》多是加菩薩說，乃至文殊、普賢及入法界，尚是菩薩自說，不見佛印之文。《法華》除敘文殊釋疑，及流通中有諸菩薩發誓弘通，皆是佛述，及以對佛便為有印，故本迹正經皆佛自說。雖加不加皆成佛慧，化儀施設時處不同，印與不印其理一也。須知同異，以顯化由。

Fifth, regarding "receiving empowerment" and so forth: the Huayan mostly consists of preaching by bodhisattvas who received empowerment; even Mañjuśrī, Samantabhadra, and the entrance into the dharma realm are still the bodhisattvas' own preaching, without seeing any text of the Buddha's seal of approval. In the Lotus Sūtra, except for recounting Mañjuśrī resolving doubts and the bodhisattvas in the transmission vowing to broadly propagate it, all are recounted by the Buddha; moreover, facing the Buddha constitutes having his seal. Therefore, the principal sūtra of both origin and traces was entirely spoken by the Buddha himself. Although empowerment or non-empowerment both accomplish buddha-wisdom, the provisional setups of conversion rituals differ in time and place, while with seal or without seal, the principle is one. One must understand their sameness and difference to make clear the causes of conversion.
