法華玄論 6.166

6.166

答：處處皆有文。〈信解品〉云「如彼窮子得無量寶」，又云「無上寶聚不求自得」也。總束可有四句：一者因人乘因車，如云「汝等所行是菩薩道」。二者因人乘果車，如菩薩必得佛故名佛乘，佛乘即因中說果也。三果人乘果車，如萬德所成人為能乘，萬德為所乘。四果人乘因車，如文殊云「昔為能仁師，今為弟子化」也。

Answer: Passages are found throughout. The chapter "Faith and Understanding" states: "Like that impoverished son obtaining immeasurable treasures"; and further states: "The supreme cluster of jewels was obtained spontaneously without seeking." Summing them up, there can be four propositions: First, a person at the cause level rides a cause-carriage, as in: "That which you all practice is the bodhisattva path." Second, a person at the cause level rides a fruit-carriage, as in a bodhisattva definitely attaining Buddhahood and thus being called the Buddha Vehicle, where the Buddha Vehicle is precisely speaking of the fruit within the cause. Third, a person at the fruit level rides a fruit-carriage, where the person accomplished through all myriad virtues is the rider and the myriad virtues are that which is ridden. Fourth, a person at the fruit level rides a cause-carriage, as Mañjuśrī said: "Formerly I was the teacher of Śākyamuni; now I transform [beings] as his disciple."
