6.136

贊曰。頌長行中大段第三結答之文「當知諸佛方便力故,於一佛乘分別說三」。以是上來所說理故,於十方界而諦審求,更無二乘之體,除佛方便教說有三;亦更無三極果之體,除說其因方便有三。

Commentary: Versifying the concluding response in the prose of the third major section: “You should know that by the power of the expedient means of the buddhas, in the one Buddha Vehicle they analytically preach three.” On the basis of the principles explained above, when one examines and inquires carefully throughout the realms of the ten directions, there is no real essence of two vehicles whatsoever, except that the Buddha's expedient teachings state there are three; nor is there any real essence of three ultimate fruits, except that their causes are expediently said to be three.
