法華玄論 5.9

5.9

Answer: This is merely abolishing the reality of the three and establishing that the three are skillful means. It differs from the previous [explanation] that spoke of abolishing and removing the three skillful means. Moreover, the meaning of 'opening' comes first, while the meaning of 'abolishing' comes after: one must first open up that the three are skillful means, and only then can one proceed to abolish them. Otherwise, lacking causes and conditions, they cannot be abolished.
