法華玄論 2.17

2.17

Answer: This sūtra clarifies the cause of the one Buddha-vehicle and the fruit of the one Buddha-vehicle. As for the cause of the one Buddha-vehicle, the cause is endowed with myriad practices; as for the fruit of the one Buddha-vehicle, the fruit is endowed with the three virtues. As for the cause of the two vehicles, the cause is not endowed with myriad practices; as for the fruit of the two vehicles, the fruit is not endowed with the three virtues. If the fruit were not endowed with the three virtues, then the fruit would not differ from the two vehicles; if the cause were not endowed with myriad practices, the cause would not differ from the two vehicles. How could that be so?
