法華義疏 9.150

9.150

兩經各異，彼經明出家人好智慧、在家人好功德。此經明聲聞有執三之病故說平等大慧以斥之，所以對聲聞也；菩薩無有此執故不對之。大士本欲弘道利人，今流通正是其事故對菩薩。又上來開三顯一其義已周，則皆成菩薩無復聲聞，故宜對菩薩也。又依龍樹云：「此經是祕密法，不可付囑聲聞，故付菩薩」。

The two sūtras differ. That sūtra clarifies that monastics delight in wisdom while householders delight in merit. This sūtra clarifies that śrāvakas have the illness of clinging to the three [vehicles]; therefore, it speaks of the great impartial wisdom to reproach them, which is why it is addressed to śrāvakas. Bodhisattvas do not have this clinging, so it is not addressed to them. Great beings originally wish to propagate the path and benefit others, and now dissemination is precisely their task, so it is addressed to bodhisattvas. Furthermore, above, the opening of the three and revealing of the one has already been completely treated in meaning, so all have become bodhisattvas and there are no longer any śrāvakas; hence it is appropriate to address it to bodhisattvas. Moreover, according to Nāgārjuna: "This sūtra is an esoteric Dharma; it cannot be entrusted to śrāvakas, so it is entrusted to bodhisattvas."
