Fifth, as for the Lotus being another name for Prajñā: the treatise says, 'Prajñā does not belong to the two vehicles, but only to bodhisattvas.' That is, Prajñā is the teaching for bodhisattvas; the Lotus clarifies the one vehicle, and also clarifies the teaching for bodhisattvas protected and remembered by the buddhas; therefore Prajñā and the Lotus are different names [for the same]. Furthermore, one must rely on the father and mother of the two kinds of wisdom to give birth to the buddhas. Since Prajñā clarifies these two, the Lotus's clarification of attaining buddhahood is also identical to Prajñā. That is, Prajñā and the Lotus are not different; it is merely that the aspect of revealing the provisional is different from Prajñā.
