法華玄論 6.134

6.134

問：初成道時有三根性，一乘化二乘機不得化，菩薩應得，何故言「我寧不說法疾入於涅槃。」

Question: When he first attained the Way, there were the three capacities; if the spiritual capacities for the two vehicles could not be converted through the one vehicle, bodhisattvas should have been able to be converted. Why did he say: 'I would rather not expound the Dharma, but swiftly enter nirvāṇa'?
