6.110

答：菩薩疑與二乘疑異。二乘昔謂究竟，今聞無究竟，是故以昔疑今，所以有索。菩薩不昔自謂究竟，今聞無究竟，是故生疑，所以菩薩無索也。但以始行之人疑昔何故說三？今何故說一？今昔三一相違，故生疑耳。

Answer: The doubt of bodhisattvas is different from the doubt of the two vehicles. The two vehicles formerly took [their attainment] to be ultimate; now hearing that there is no ultimate, they therefore doubt the present on the basis of the past, which is why there is asking. Bodhisattvas did not formerly consider themselves ultimate and now hear that there is no ultimate, and so they give rise to doubt; therefore bodhisattvas do not ask. It is only that practitioners at the initial stage doubt: Why were three taught in the past? Why is one taught now? Because past and present, three and one, contradict each other, they give rise to doubt.
