### [6.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1720.6.38)

答：三請中通明大眾皆疑悔，非獨身子，故得擬之。又今雖別為中下根人說譬，但佛就一一周中總序一化大意，遍為一切，乃至為末代世眾生令識一三權實義也。

> Answer: During the three requests, it was generally clarified that the entire great assembly had doubts and regrets, not Śāriputra alone; hence they can correspond to them. Furthermore, although the parables are now spoken specifically for people of middling and lower faculties, yet in each cycle the Buddha generally outlines the overarching meaning of his single teaching career, universally for all, and even for sentient beings of the latter age, to make them recognize the provisional and real meanings of the one and the three.
