8.22

答:佛為眾生轉法輪,要須具二種能所:一者以二智說二輪,則二智為能轉、二諦教為所轉之輪。二者二諦教復能發生眾生二智,則二諦教為能轉、眾生二智為所轉之輪也。初則智能諦所,次則諦能智所也。

Answer: When the Buddha turns the wheel of Dharma for sentient beings, it necessarily requires two kinds of active and passive: First, expounding the two wheels by means of the two wisdoms—then the two wisdoms are that which turns, and the teaching of the two truths is the wheel that is turned. Second, the teaching of the two truths can in turn engender the two wisdoms of sentient beings—then the teaching of the two truths is that which turns, and the two wisdoms of sentient beings are the wheel that is turned. In the former case, wisdom is active and truth is passive; in the latter case, truth is active and wisdom is passive.
