法華義疏 6.84

6.84

「如彼長者」下，第四，合三車救子得譬。上有四章：一、知子宿好譬；二、為說三車譬；三、諸子信受譬；四、明父見子免難歡喜。今具合之。上知子宿好有三：一、明不出為損；二、欲設出方便；三、知子宿好。今並不合之，直序一化始終三種法輪：初、明隱實，謂隱根本法輪；次、明起權，謂枝末法輪；三、明用權意，即收末歸本。合中但合初二句，下別有合等賜大車，故此中不合，直明隱實、起權，生下說三乘之義也。

From 'Just like that elder' downward, fourth, it matches the parable of successfully rescuing the children with the three carts. Above, there were four sections: first, the parable of knowing the children's past inclinations; second, the parable of speaking of the three carts for them; third, the parable of the children faithfully receiving them; fourth, clarifying the father's joy upon seeing the children escape disaster. Now all are matched together. Above, knowing the children's past inclinations had three parts: first, clarifying that not emerging causes harm; second, desiring to devise an expedient means for emerging; third, knowing the children's past inclinations. Now it does not match them individually, but directly recounts the three wheels of the Dharma from the beginning to the end of a single period of conversion: first, clarifying the concealing of the real, meaning concealing the fundamental wheel of the Dharma; next, clarifying the raising of the provisional, meaning the branch-and-tip wheel of the Dharma; third, clarifying the intention behind employing the provisional, namely gathering the branches and returning to the root. In the correspondence, it only matches the first two clauses, because below there is a separate matching of bestowing the great cart equally; hence here it is not matched, but directly clarifies concealing the real and raising the provisional, giving rise below to the meaning of expounding the triyāna.
