法華文句記 2.9

2.9

Regarding "as spoken in the Prajñā": in that sūtra, Pūrṇa spoke of breaking views of bodhi; therefore, it is the intent of the shared [teaching]. Regarding "noble sages themselves expounding their own dharmas" and so forth: here, explaining the shared teaching, it consequently cites the *Prajñā* to the effect that the bodhisattva practices shared [with the two vehicles] must break views of bodhi, the wheel of Dharma, and so forth before one is named a bodhisattva. Therefore, it cites various Mahāyāna sūtras where, whenever bodhisattvas speak of their own realization, it is always to benefit living beings or to express their understanding before the Buddha, not like ordinary people who assert their own views and praise their own abilities; hence it says "falsely making statements".
