法華義疏 2.385

2.385

「是時日月燈明」下，第二、正說《法華》也。上來至此凡有三同：從初至「所可說法初中後善」，謂曾見與曾見同。從「其最後佛」至「八百弟子」，明曾見與現見同。從此文去竟後，明曾見與當見同。「六十小劫不起于座」者，《智度論》云「小乘法中無不可思議事，唯大乘法中有之，如六十小劫說《法華經》謂如食頃。」

From "At that time, Sun Moon Lamp Brightness" below is the second part: correctly expounding the Lotus [Sūtra]. From above up to here, there are three correspondences in total: from the beginning down to "the Dharma he expounded was good in the beginning, middle, and end" means that what was previously seen corresponds to what was previously seen; from "his final Buddha" to "eight hundred disciples" clarifies that what was previously seen corresponds to what is currently seen; from this text onward to the end clarifies that what was previously seen corresponds to what will be seen in the future. As for "for sixty minor kalpas he did not rise from his seat," the *Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa* (*Dazhidulun*) says: "In the Hīnayāna teachings there are no inconceivable matters; only in the Mahāyāna teachings are they found—such as expounding the *Lotus Sūtra* for sixty minor kalpas, which seemed like the span of a meal."
