法華義疏 8.343

8.343

有人言：上明同斷三界惑故言一，今據餘、無餘故言二。有人言：大涅槃為第一，今是中路涅槃稱為第二，故名為二。如《勝鬘經》云「涅槃有二種：一、無餘，在佛；二、有餘，在二乘」。今謂二釋悉非，此文但以二乘人所證為二涅槃耳。如下偈云「唯有一佛乘，息處故說二」也。

Some say: above it stated that both cut off delusions of the three realms, hence it said "one"; now it is based on remainder and without remainder, hence it says "two". Some say: the great nirvāṇa is the first; this one midway is called the second nirvāṇa, hence it is called "two". As the Śrīmālādevī Sūtra says, "There are two kinds of nirvāṇa: first, without remainder, which belongs to the Buddha; second, with remainder, which belongs to the two vehicles." Now we maintain that both explanations are incorrect; this passage simply regards what is realized by persons of the two vehicles as two nirvāṇas. As the verse below says: "There is only the one Buddha vehicle; / for the sake of a resting place, two were preached."
