法華義疏 10.143

10.143

廣明身權身實有一品半經，開為五門：一、勸信門；二、正說門；三、得益門；四、稱歎門；五、格量門。深法難受前須勸信，勸信既竟次為廣說法，說法應機時眾得道，疑除領解是故稱歎，信解者福德智慧無邊所以格量。

The extensive explanation of the provisional bodies and the real body encompasses one and a half chapters of the sūtra, divided into five sections: first, the section on encouraging belief; second, the section of the main exposition; third, the section on obtaining benefits; fourth, the section on praise and acclaim; fifth, the section on comparative evaluation. Because the profound Dharma is difficult to accept, one must first encourage belief. Once belief has been encouraged, next the Dharma is extensively expounded for them. The expounding of the Dharma responds to their capacity, and the assembly at that time attains the Way; their doubts being removed, they comprehend and understand, and on this account praise and acclaim [ensue]; and because the merit and wisdom of those who believe and understand are boundless, a comparative evaluation is made.
