法華玄論 4.38

4.38

答：數論師、地論師、法華等師無有此義，故不釋也。今明此義可有四列：一者六度、道品是無所得，故俱近；二俱是有所得，故俱遠；三無所得六度為近，有所得道品為遠；四無得道品為近，有得六度為遠。今明六度為遠、道品為近者，為釋〈無生品〉經文。經文云「有世間六度、出世間六度，道品但明出世，不明世間。」論主解此一義，故明六度為遠、道品為近。

Answer: The masters of the abhidharma, the Daśabhūmika masters, and the Lotus masters do not have this meaning, so they do not explain it. Now, in clarifying this meaning, there can be four arrangements: first, both the six perfections and the factors of awakening are non-attainment, hence both are proximate; second, both are attainment, hence both are remote; third, the non-attainment six perfections are proximate, and the attainment factors of awakening are remote; fourth, the non-attainment factors of awakening are proximate, and the attainment six perfections are remote. Now, in clarifying that the six perfections are remote and the factors of awakening are proximate, it is to interpret the sūtra passage of the chapter "Non-Arising." The sūtra text says: "There are worldly six perfections and supramundane six perfections; the factors of awakening clarify only the supramundane and do not clarify the worldly." The author of the treatise explained this single meaning, and therefore clarified that the six perfections are remote and the factors of awakening are proximate.
