法華遊意 1.367

1.367

此二文猶是一義，無相違也。「於一佛乘方便說三」，次云「一乘是真實二乘是方便」，如人手內實有一菓，方便言三菓。次第考論者，一菓是實，二是方便，故說三說二並是方便，猶是一義不相違也。

These two passages still share one meaning; there is no contradiction. 'In the single Buddha-vehicle, upāya speaks of three'; next it says, 'The ekayāna is tattva, the two vehicles are upāya.' It is like someone actually having one fruit in his hand, but using upāya to say there are three fruits. Examining the sequence, one fruit is real and two are upāya; hence speaking of three and speaking of two are both upāya. They still share one meaning and do not contradict each other.
