法華玄論 3.72

3.72

Answer: By refuting the three kinds of persons, it reveals that the bodhisattva's dharma-gate is profoundly deep, marvelous, unobstructed, and unrestricted; the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra likewise explains that the bodhisattva's dharma-gate is profoundly deep, marvelous, ultimate, and real. Therefore they are the same. However, although it refutes the three kinds of persons, explaining that they have notions of attainment, it does not explain that the five vehicles are all skillful means; therefore it differs from the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra. Furthermore, there are three differences and one commonality. As for the three differences: first, it does not yet open the three as skillful means; second, it does not yet converge the three back into the one; third, it does not yet abolish the three to establish the one. As for the one commonality: Vimalakīrti reproaches both the Great and Lesser Vehicles, and the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra likewise refutes the divergent attachments of the three vehicles; hence they are said to be the same.
