妙法蓮華經玄贊 6.152

6.152

贊曰：釋得權處。初二句問，後四句答。但離虛妄煩惱、業、苦、分段生死，名得解脫，證得有作四聖諦故，未得二障、二業、二死皆都滅盡；一切解脫法空，無作四聖諦故。有作四諦者，分段生死為苦諦，業、煩惱為集諦，有無餘依涅槃為滅諦，生空智品以為道諦。無作四諦者，變易生死為苦諦，所知障為集諦，無住涅槃為滅諦，法空智品為道諦。故《勝鬘》云如：「是八聖諦，非諸聲聞、緣覺所知。」

The Commentary says: This explains the status of attaining the provisional. The first two lines ask, and the latter four lines answer. Merely relinquishing false afflictions, karma, suffering, and birth-and-death of portions and divisions is called attaining liberation, because one has realized the active four noble truths; one has not yet caused the two obstacles, the two karmas, and the two kinds of death to all be completely extinguished, because of all liberation, emptiness of dharmas, and the inactive four noble truths. Regarding the active four truths: birth-and-death of portions and divisions constitutes the truth of suffering; karma and afflictions constitute the truth of origin; nirvāṇa with and without remainder constitutes the truth of cessation; the cognitive category of the emptiness of persons constitutes the truth of the path. Regarding the inactive four truths: birth-and-death of transformational change constitutes the truth of suffering; the cognitive obstacle constitutes the truth of origin; non-abiding nirvāṇa constitutes the truth of cessation; the cognitive category of the emptiness of dharmas constitutes the truth of the path. Hence the Śrīmālādevī-sūtra says: 'These eight noble truths are not known by any of the śrāvakas or pratyekabuddhas.'
