法華玄論 4.106

4.106

答：《法華》正為三乘保執自謂究竟，更不求佛，故須辨三乘會開之義；人天二乘無自保究竟之執，故不辨會開也。《勝鬘》通明正法有出生一切方便用，數一切方便歸正法，故通明五乘有開會也。

Answer: The Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra is aimed directly at those of the three vehicles who cling to their own state, claim it to be ultimate, and no longer seek buddhahood; hence it must distinguish the meaning of unifying and opening the three vehicles. The two vehicles of humans and devas do not cling to their own state as ultimate; hence it does not distinguish unifying and opening them. The Śrīmālādevī-sūtra comprehensively clarifies that the true Dharma has the expedient function of producing all things and gathers all expedients back into the true Dharma; hence it comprehensively clarifies that the five vehicles have opening and unifying.
