法華玄論 9.176

9.176

答：無量劫亦是正道，一念亦是正道。正道既不異，無量劫一念豈異哉？復何失一念無量劫？亦非無量劫聚來，一念亦爾。無量劫一念事恒不失也。肇云：「如動而靜，似去來相，可以神會，不可以事求」也。

Answer: Incalculable kalpas are also the correct path; a single thought-moment is also the correct path. Since the correct path is not different, how could incalculable kalpas and a single thought-moment be different? Furthermore, how could a single thought-moment lose incalculable kalpas? Nor do incalculable kalpas accumulate and come; a single thought-moment is also like this. The events of incalculable kalpas and a single thought-moment are never lost. Sengzhao said: 'Like moving yet still, resembling the characteristics of going and coming, it can be understood through the spirit, but cannot be sought through concrete events.'
