法華玄論 3.36

3.36

Answer: These are all merely reflections of the teachings of the four or five periods, which is why they made such explanations. Since the five periods are already untenable, the four tenets naturally fall away. Furthermore, Bodhiruci—translated here as Daoxi—himself translated the Daśabhūmikā-śāstra and explained only the half-word and full-word [teachings]. Bodhiruci is the patriarch of the Dilun tradition, so we know that the half-word and full-word teachings have a basis; whereas relying on the four tenets has no root. Yet they arbitrarily place deep faith in them, not discerning the reason for this.
