法華玄論 8.67

答：若轉四諦法明四十八行，必是約見諦也。何者？以見諦十六心約三根各得十六故，故成四十八。思惟不必備觀四諦。又作九無礙、九解脫斷惑，不明十六心，故不得作四十八也。若轉十六諦法輪者，此通見思，以見思皆得作十六諦觀，故成十六行。但前十六唯就見諦故別，後十六即通也。次明以四句束之：一開教開行，謂十六諦十六行也。二合教合行，謂十二教十二行。三合教開行，三轉十二教為合教，約三根四十八開行也。四合行開教，約一人具聞三轉十二教故名開教，但生一眼智明覺為合行也。

Answer: If turning the dharma of the four truths explains forty-eight practices, it must refer to the seeing of the truths. Why? Because the sixteen minds of seeing the truths, considered across the three capacities as each attaining sixteen, therefore form forty-eight. Reflection does not necessarily contemplate all four truths completely. Moreover, in cutting off defilements through the nine unobstructed [paths] and nine [paths of] liberation, the sixteen minds are not explained, so they cannot form forty-eight. If one turns the dharma wheel of the sixteen truths, this applies commonly to seeing and reflection, because in both seeing and reflection one can engage in the contemplation of the sixteen truths, thus forming sixteen practices. However, because the former sixteen refers solely to the seeing of the truths, it is distinct, whereas the latter sixteen is common. Next, explaining how to synthesize them into four propositions: (1) opening teaching and opening practice, which refers to the sixteen truths and sixteen practices; (2) combining teaching and combining practice, which refers to the twelve teachings and twelve practices; (3) combining teaching and opening practice: the twelve teachings of the three turnings are the combined teaching, while opening practice refers to the forty-eight across the three capacities; (4) combining practice and opening teaching: with reference to a single person fully hearing the twelve teachings of the three turnings, it is called opening teaching, while engendering only a single [set of] eye, knowledge, clarity, and awakening is combining practice.
