法華玄論 5.65

5.65

答：有人言菩薩亦有領解，但《法華經》多不盡度耳。故〈方便品〉云「菩薩聞是法，疑網皆已除」，即其證也。有人言：聲聞有執異之病，又有自保之惑，故正破之，所以有領解耳。菩薩無自保之病，設有謂大異小、謂小異大，明菩薩自作佛、二乘不作佛，一聞法華即得領悟。但破三歸一正為二乘、傍為菩薩，故不述菩薩領解也。

Answer: Some say bodhisattvas also have receptive understanding, but the *Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra* mostly does not exhaustively record it. Thus the 'Skillful Means' chapter says: 'When bodhisattvas hear this Dharma, / The net of doubts is completely eliminated'—this is the proof. Some say: śrāvakas have the illness of grasping at difference and also have the delusion of clinging to their own [attainment], so [the sūtra] directly demolishes them; therefore they have receptive understanding. Bodhisattvas do not have the illness of clinging to their own [attainment]; even if they had the notion that the great differs from the small or that the small differs from the great, believing that bodhisattvas themselves become buddhas while the two vehicles do not become buddhas, once they hear the Lotus they immediately receive and awaken to it. However, demolishing the three and returning to the one is directly for the two vehicles and secondarily for bodhisattvas; therefore it does not relate the bodhisattvas' receptive understanding.
