法華玄論 2.38

2.38

The tenth is clarifying the two expositions: first, the direct exposition; second, resolving doubts to establish the former exposition. The direct exposition: the first section clarifies that there is neither the heterodox divergence of the ninety-six kinds nor the orthodox divergence of the five vehicles; all buddhas of the three periods have only the one Path. The second section establishes the former exposition: although the Path has no dual, if it were still impermanent, it would still be identical to the ninety-six kinds of paths, and also identical to the paths of the five vehicles, and could not be named the one Path. What is clarified now is that the ninety-six paths are naturally impermanent paths; what is clarified now is that the one Path is the permanent Path. The paths of the five vehicles are impermanent paths, while only the path of the one vehicle is the permanent Path; hence it adduces the permanent Path to establish the preceding one Path.
