法華文句記 2.7

2.7

As for [explaining] in terms of the teachings, one should also list the four teachings in full to explain the practice and virtues of the three persons; the reason for listing the five flavors is that the flavors encompass the teachings. In [explaining] in terms of origin and traces, correlating the three persons with the three virtues is because with perfect virtue one person necessarily possesses all three, yet each person is named partially according to the one virtue they represent; since they jointly represent [the three], their essence is identical and their nature is one. It is also like this in contemplation: first attaining the middle way, next eliminating extreme inversions, and finally illuminating the extreme truths. Therefore we know that the three virtues are precisely the wondrous, perfect non-arising.
