法華義疏 3.77

3.77

九者、總收惑倒凡有二種：一者、自倒；二者、他倒。初分之經斥於自倒，後分之經破於他倒。自倒者，二乘之人實非究竟，以顛倒故自謂究竟，故身子云「我今自於智，疑惑不能了，為是究竟法，為是所行道」，則其事也。後分之經破於他倒者，如來果德於二乘為他，自惑己身既入無餘，謂如來身亦同灰斷，故是他倒。今二段之經雙破兩倒，初段之經顯二乘非究竟除其自倒，後段之經明法身常住破其他倒。既自他倒除則一切惑盡，便改小志發於大心。又初段經破其自倒，令二乘人知彼涅槃非是常住，則破其常倒，後段經文破其他倒，顯如來常身破其無常之倒。二倒既除則應期悟道。

Ninth, taking the deluded inversions in summary, there are two kinds: first, self-inversion; second, other-inversion. The initial portion of the sūtra reproaches self-inversion; the latter portion of the sūtra refutes other-inversion. As for 'self-inversion', persons of the two vehicles are truly not ultimate, yet because of inversion they regard themselves as ultimate. Thus Śāriputra said, 'I now am confused and cannot understand regarding my own wisdom: is this the ultimate Dharma, or is this the path to be practiced?'—this is precisely that matter. As for the latter portion of the sūtra refuting other-inversion: the Tathāgata's fruit virtues are 'other' in relation to the two vehicles. Having deluded themselves that their own bodies had already entered the remainderless [nirvāṇa], they thought that the Tathāgata's body was likewise reduced to ashes and severed; hence it is other-inversion. Now the two sections of the sūtra refute both inversions together: the initial section of the sūtra reveals that the two vehicles are not ultimate, eliminating their self-inversion; the latter section of the sūtra clarifies that the dharmakāya is eternal, refuting their other-inversion. Once both self- and other-inversions are eliminated, all delusions are exhausted, and they forthwith change their small resolve and arouse the great aspiration. Furthermore, the initial section of the sūtra refutes their self-inversion, causing persons of the two vehicles to know that their nirvāṇa is not eternal, thereby refuting their inversion of permanence; the latter section of the sūtra refutes their other-inversion, revealing the Tathāgata's eternal body and refuting their inversion of impermanence. Once the two inversions are eliminated, they will awaken to the Way at the appointed time.
