法華義疏 7.37

7.37

依《法華論》釋〈分別功德品〉，地前菩薩界內受生，登地已上界外受生。依《智度論》，七地菩薩肉身中得無生忍，捨肉身即受三界外法性生身。依真諦三藏釋《攝大乘論》意，自十行第六心去則三界外受生。經論不同，難可詳定也。

According to the Fahua lun's commentary on the "Distinction of Merits Chapter", bodhisattvas before the bhūmis are reborn inside the realms, while those who have ascended to the bhūmis and above are reborn outside the realms. According to the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa, a bodhisattva of the seventh bhūmi attains the forbearance of non-arising of dharmas within the physical body, and upon casting off the physical body receives a dharma-nature-born body outside the three realms. According to Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha's interpretation of the Mahāyānasaṃgraha, from the sixth mind of the ten practices onward they are reborn outside the three realms. The sūtras and treatises differ, and it is difficult to determine definitively.
