法華義疏 4.30

4.30

此文雙序如來大小二藏，從《華嚴》已來至靈山已前大小二乘一切諸教。所以雙序二教者，序小乘教意，明迴小入大。菩薩鈍根，昔未得悟今方領解；序大乘教意，歎直往菩薩從《華嚴》以來至靈山之前大機早就利根早悟，此乃是數以歎菩薩之先達、嗟聲聞之後悟耳。非關昔大為方便也。

This text introduces together the two storehouses, the great and the small, of the Tathāgata—all the various teachings of the two yānas, great and small, from the Avataṃsaka onward up until [the assembly at] Vulture Peak. Why introduce both teachings together? Introducing the intention of the Hīnayāna teaching clarifies turning from the small to enter the great. Bodhisattvas of dull faculties, who had not attained awakening in the past, only now receive and understand. Introducing the intention of the Mahāyāna teaching praises the direct-progress bodhisattvas from the Avataṃsaka onward up until [the assembly at] Vulture Peak whose great capacities matured early and whose sharp faculties awakened early. This merely serves repeatedly to praise the bodhisattvas' earlier attainment and to lament the śrāvakas' later awakening. It is not about the past great being an upāya.
