法華遊意 1.363

1.363

欲，明三乘攝出世乘盡故，對二乘之方便明佛乘是真實，故文云「唯此一事實，餘二則非真」，所以明一乘是三乘中之一也。就佛乘中復自開真、應，昔為二乘人說佛方便身，故佛乘是方便身，即以今教明佛身是真實，故真實之乘異方便佛，如師子座長者異著弊垢衣長者，以約今昔兩教明佛有權實不同，是故一乘非三乘中之一也。

Wishing to make clear that the three vehicles subsume all supramundane vehicles, the Buddha-vehicle is explained as tattva in contrast to the upāya of the two vehicles; thus the text says: 'Only this one thing is real, the other two are not true.' This is why it is explained that the ekayāna is one among the three vehicles. In the Buddha-vehicle itself, the real and the responsive are further differentiated: in the past, for the sake of the people of the two vehicles, the Buddha's upāya body was preached; hence the Buddha-vehicle was the upāya body. Now, using the present teaching to explain that the Buddha's body is tattva, the vehicle of tattva is different from the upāya Buddha, just as the elder on the lion throne is different from the elder wearing ragged and dirty clothes. Since the Buddha has the difference between expedient and real in terms of the two teachings of past and present, therefore the ekayāna is not one among the three vehicles.
