法華玄論 8.141

第二明四行名不同。光宅云：一空慧行、二說法行、三離過行、四慈悲行。但初行中辨空慧，後三不明，故初名空慧行也。第二行中廣明說法，第三行中亦有說法，說法義略，故第二名說法行。第三行中廣明離過，餘行文少，故第三名離過行。第四廣辨慈悲，故名慈悲行，第三亦有慈悲，慈悲文略，不名慈悲行也。生公及注經列四行名：第一空寂行、第二離憍慢行、三離嫉妬行、四者慈悲行。生公不以說法別為一行者，下偈云「安住四法然後說《法華經》」，此明內住四法、外說《法華》，故不以說法為一行也。今用生公所說也。

Second, clarifying the differences in the names of the four practices. Guangzhai says: first, the practice of empty wisdom; second, the practice of preaching the Dharma; third, the practice of leaving faults behind; fourth, the practice of loving-kindness and compassion. It is only because the first practice distinguishes empty wisdom, which the latter three do not clarify, that the first is named the practice of empty wisdom. In the second practice, preaching the Dharma is extensively clarified; the third practice also contains preaching the Dharma, but the meaning of preaching the Dharma is brief, so the second is named the practice of preaching the Dharma. In the third practice, leaving faults behind is extensively clarified, while other texts mention it little, so the third is named the practice of leaving faults behind. The fourth extensively distinguishes loving-kindness and compassion, so it is named the practice of loving-kindness and compassion; the third also has loving-kindness and compassion, but the text on loving-kindness and compassion is brief, so it is not named the practice of loving-kindness and compassion. Master Daosheng and the annotated sūtras list the names of the four practices: first, the practice of empty stillness; second, the practice of leaving arrogance behind; third, the practice of leaving jealousy behind; fourth, the practice of loving-kindness and compassion. Master Daosheng did not make preaching the Dharma a distinct single practice because the verses below state, 'Abiding peacefully in the four dharmas, one then preaches the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra'—this clarifies that internally one abides in the four dharmas and externally one preaches the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra, so he did not take preaching the Dharma as a single practice. We now adopt what Master Daosheng taught.
