法華玄論 4.75

4.75

Answer: The treatise states, 'Moving is the patient acceptance of compliance; departing is the patient acceptance of the non-arising of dharmas.' First, before the bhūmis is the patient acceptance of compliance, and entering the bhūmis is the patient acceptance of the non-arising of dharmas. Second, the sixth bhūmi is the patient acceptance of compliance, and the seventh bhūmi is the patient acceptance of the non-arising of dharmas. If ordinary persons belong to the three realms, then before the bhūmis is the patient acceptance of compliance, and entering the noble stage by stepping onto the bhūmis is departing from the three realms. In this case, the first bhūmi is departing and before the bhūmis is moving. If the sixth bhūmi still undergoes a physical flesh body and is therefore called the three realms, then the seventh bhūmi relinquishes the physical flesh body and departs from the three realms; hence the sixth bhūmi is moving and the seventh bhūmi is departing. However, between these two meanings, the first meaning is correct.
