法華義疏 5.137

5.137

可具二義：一者、被三緣故說三教。眾生往昔曾居穢土，備縈眾苦故厭之願滅，厭之願滅而性不可迴，雖生淨國，稱其本性為說三乘。如厭釋迦之穢國、生彌勒之淨土，穢心雖改、三性不移，故彌勒出於淨土亦說三乘。二者、身子之土雖無三緣，但為菩薩傳化餘方，故說三乘之教也。雖有二義，以後義為正，故下但列菩薩無三乘眾也。

Two meanings may be furnished: First, because he addresses three types of capacities, he expounds the three teachings. In the past, sentient beings once dwelt in defiled lands and were entangled in manifold sufferings, and therefore grew weary of them and wished to extinguish them; though weary of them and wishing for extinction, their natures could not be immediately redirected, so even upon being born in a pure land, he expounds the triyāna in accordance with their original natures. Just as those who weary of Śākyamuni's defiled land are born in Maitreya's pure land—their defiled mind has changed, yet their three natures have not shifted, so Maitreya, appearing in a pure land, also expounds the triyāna. Second, although Śāriputra's land lacks the three capacities, he expounds the teaching of the triyāna simply for bodhisattvas to propagate and transform other regions. Although there are two meanings, the latter meaning is primary; hence below it merely lists bodhisattvas, and there is no assembly of the three vehicles.
