法華玄論 10.36

10.36

答：隨喜正是菩薩法門，故菩薩五悔中有隨喜義，但小乘隨分有之耳。又小乘明喜義局，唯隨喜三世佛及弟子善根耳，無有隨喜十方三世佛也。大乘明隨喜三世十方佛及弟子善根，故廣也。又小乘但有隨喜迹身功德，不知法身常恒，故無隨喜法身功德也。又小乘隨喜功德不迴向薩婆若，大乘用隨喜功德趣一切智也。又小乘隨喜是有漏心，非是理中觀行；大乘隨喜通漏無漏，始行人隨喜是有漏，深行隨喜即是波若正觀，無得無依，故是無漏。又小乘隨喜生身菩薩功德，無有隨喜法身功德，以小乘法中不說菩薩得法身，故論自他隨喜。

Answer: Rejoicing in accord is precisely a bodhisattva dharma gate; thus, within the bodhisattva's five repentances there is the meaning of rejoicing in accord, whereas the Hīnayāna possesses it only according to limited capacity. Furthermore, the Hīnayāna's explanation of the meaning of rejoicing is narrow, only rejoicing in accord with the roots of goodness of the buddhas and disciples of the three periods of time; it does not rejoice in accord with the buddhas of the three periods of time throughout the ten directions. The Mahāyāna explains rejoicing in accord with the roots of goodness of the buddhas and disciples of the three periods of time and ten directions, and is therefore broad. Furthermore, the Hīnayāna only has rejoicing in accord with the merits of the trace body, not knowing that the dharmakāya is eternal and constant; thus it lacks rejoicing in accord with the merits of the dharmakāya. Furthermore, the merits of rejoicing in accord in the Hīnayāna are not dedicated to sarvajñā, whereas the Mahāyāna employs the merits of rejoicing in accord to advance toward omniscience. Furthermore, rejoicing in accord in the Hīnayāna is a mind with outflows, not a contemplative practice within the principle; rejoicing in accord in the Mahāyāna covers both with and without outflows: for beginners, rejoicing in accord has outflows, but for deep practitioners, rejoicing in accord is precisely the correct contemplation of prajñā, having nothing to attain and nothing to rely upon, and is therefore without outflows. Furthermore, the Hīnayāna rejoices in accord with the merits of bodhisattvas in their physical bodies of birth, lacking rejoicing in accord with the merits of the dharmakāya, because the Hīnayāna teachings do not explain that bodhisattvas attain the dharmakāya. Hence we discuss rejoicing in accord for oneself and others.
