法華玄論 4.18

4.18

Answer: Later it shall be explained extensively; now two passages are briefly cited. The Dvādaśanikāya-śāstra explains the vehicle with six meanings: because it is ridden by the buddhas and great men, it is therefore called great—this refers to the fruit vehicle; because it is ridden by Avalokiteśvara and others, it is therefore called great—this refers to the causal vehicle. This sūtra says: "The Buddha himself abides in the Great Vehicle; in accordance with the Dharma he has attained, he delivers sentient beings by means of it"—this is the fruit vehicle. "These sons, riding on this jewelled carriage, go straight to the bodhimaṇḍa"—this refers to the causal vehicle. The Saddharmapuṇḍarīkopadeśa fully explains that the vehicle applies to both cause and fruit; it shall be brought out later. The Vijñaptimātratā-śāstra is also like this.
