妙法蓮華經玄贊 2.115

2.115

贊曰：下明所照有七：一六趣、二佛、三法、四四眾、五菩薩、六入涅槃、七起塔。此七分三：一覩生死沈淪，二覩三寶出現，三覩滅後行化，欲令欣厭以發心故。此生死沈淪六趣眾生，以六門分別：一釋名、二出體、三開合、四處所、五壽量、六因果相。

Eulogy: Below, it clarifies what was illuminated, which has seven [aspects]: first, the six destinies; second, the buddhas; third, the Dharma; fourth, the four assemblies; fifth, the bodhisattvas; sixth, entering nirvāṇa; seventh, raising stūpas. These seven are divided into three: first, beholding the sinking and wandering in birth and death; second, beholding the appearance of the Three Jewels; third, beholding the practice of converting beings after extinction—wishing to cause longing and revulsion so that they give rise to the [bodhi] mind. The sentient beings of the six destinies sinking and wandering in birth and death are distinguished by six gates: first, explaining the names; second, identifying the essence; third, opening and combining; fourth, the locations; fifth, lifespan; sixth, the marks of cause and effect.
