法華玄論 2.8

2.8

次明二妙，一開三顯一以明妙、二開近顯遠以辨妙。此是一經之宗領，故就此以明妙，即釋第二法字也。就二中，初總論十對、次別詳因果。此義若成則名為妙，如其不成便非妙也。

Next, clarifying two kinds of sublime: first, revealing the sublime by opening the three and displaying the one; second, explaining the sublime by opening the near and displaying the distant. This is the overarching doctrine of the entire sūtra, and therefore we clarify sublimity on this basis, which interprets the second character, 'Dharma' (fa). Within these two, we first discuss the ten pairs generally, and next examine cause and fruit specifically. If this doctrine holds, then it is called 'sublime'; if it does not hold, then it is not 'sublime'.
