有二種人信大乘不信一乘:一者、是小乘信《大品》等,以《大品》等雖是大乘,未廢小乘,故小乘信大乘自是菩薩法,信小乘是聲聞法。二者、新學菩薩亦信《大品》,云《大品》明菩薩法,為說《大品》等,是我等所行,非二乘所行也。

There are two kinds of people who believe in the Mahāyāna but do not believe in the ekayāna: First, Hīnayāna practitioners believe in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā and similar sūtras, because although the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā and similar sūtras are Mahāyāna, they have not yet abolished the Hīnayāna; hence the Hīnayāna practitioner believes the Mahāyāna is inherently the bodhisattva Dharma and believes the Hīnayāna is the śrāvaka Dharma. Second, newly practicing bodhisattvas also believe in the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā, saying that the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā explains the bodhisattva Dharma, and preaching the Pañcaviṃśatisāhasrikā and similar texts is what we practice, not what the two vehicles practice.
