3.188

「舍利弗當知」下,第二大段、分明略說。對前髣髴故云分明,形後廣文稱為略說。此文接上來者,上明九道眾生不解佛智,十方佛能解,恐二乘人自絕不生信受,故今略明權實二智令其生信,故有此文來也。

From "Śāriputra, you should know" onward, is the second major section: the distinct and brief explanation. In contrast to the prior indistinctness, it is called "distinct"; compared with the extensive text to follow, it is termed "brief." This passage follows upon what came before: above, it was explained that sentient beings of the nine paths do not understand the Buddha's wisdom and only the Buddhas of the ten directions can understand it; fearing that people of the two vehicles would cut themselves off and not give rise to faith and acceptance, here he briefly clarifies the two wisdoms—provisional and real—to cause them to give rise to faith; hence this passage appears.
