### [5.129](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1721.5.129)

「華光如來亦以三乘教化」下，第三、明教門果也。「以本願故說三乘」者，此為釋疑。〈方便品〉云「諸佛出五濁惡世故說三乘」，身子今出於淨土，何故亦說三乘？所以釋云：彼佛出時雖非惡世，以本願故說三乘法。是則釋迦出穢土故說三乘，身子以本願故說三乘，各有其所以也。

> From “Padmaprabha Tathāgata also uses the triyāna to teach and transform” onwards is third: explaining the fruit of the doctrinal gate. “Because of his original vows he expounds the triyāna” is said to resolve doubts. The Expedient Means Chapter states that the Buddhas appear in evil worlds of the five corruptions and therefore expound the triyāna; since Śāriputra now appears in a pure land, why does he also expound the triyāna? Therefore it explains: although the time of that Buddha's appearance is not an evil world, because of his original vows he expounds the teaching of the triyāna. Thus, Śākyamuni appeared in a defiled land and therefore expounded the triyāna, while Śāriputra expounds the triyāna because of his original vows—each having their respective reason.
