法華玄論 4.176

4.176

答：初二慧令生信，次二慧令生解，信解是自行，第三明化他。要具此三，二乘之人方成菩薩也。又初二慧為信，次二慧為解，第三二慧即是行。一切菩薩要先有信心，次有解，後有行。今寄五十二位明之。前十信次十住，十住即是十解。以解故起十行，行解成就任運趣菩薩道，可名迴向。迴向既順無生流則登平真悟，故名十地。以三種二智配此位者，初二智為信即是十信，次二智為解即是十住，第三二智即是十行。解行既成則能向菩薩道，是故有十迴向。迴向既順無生流故登十地。無階級階級論之故作此判。若階級無階級者，一念具三種二智也。

Answer: The first two wisdoms give rise to faith; the next two wisdoms give rise to understanding; faith and understanding are self-cultivation; the third clarifies transforming others. One must be complete in these three; only then do people of the two vehicles become bodhisattvas. Furthermore, the first two wisdoms are faith; the next two wisdoms are understanding; the third two wisdoms are practice. All bodhisattvas must first have a mind of faith, next have understanding, and afterward have practice. We now explain this by mapping it onto the fifty-two stages: the first ten faiths, followed by the ten abodes—the ten abodes are precisely the ten understandings. Due to understanding, one gives rise to the ten practices; when practice and understanding are accomplished, one spontaneously proceeds toward the bodhisattva path, which may be called dedication. Once dedication conforms to the stream of non-arising, one ascends to the level, true awakening; therefore they are named the ten stages. If one matches the three kinds of dual wisdom to these stages: the first two wisdoms are faith, which are precisely the ten faiths; the next two wisdoms are understanding, which are precisely the ten abodes; the third two wisdoms are precisely the ten practices. Once understanding and practice are accomplished, one is then able to direct oneself toward the bodhisattva path; therefore there are the ten dedications. Once dedication conforms to the stream of non-arising, one ascends to the ten stages. Discussing the stages of the non-gradual, we make this determination; if it is the non-gradual of stages, a single thought-moment is complete in the three kinds of dual wisdom.
