妙法蓮華經玄贊 8.182

8.182

贊曰：第三領為設化城。既退大心起規勝法，名為遊行。遂至二乘佛法之中，名為他國，非曾生長故、昔在生死名自國故。處大乘中，名親友舍。若發心已佛法內人，以佛法為自國、生死為他國，故前說言「久住他國五十餘年」。未發心前佛法外人，以生死為自國、佛法為他國，即此文是，亦同《涅槃經》所說也。或以大乘為父舍、小乘為他國，求正法味名為衣食。勵己精勤以規正法，名勤力求甚大艱辛。此在二乘因位捨五欲樂，放逸具故少有所得；二乘菩提更不進求便以為足，生已度想、安隱想故。

The Eulogy says: The third is understanding the setting up of the conjured city. Having retreated from the great mind, he arose to seek superior dharmas; this is called “journeying.” Consequently arriving in the Buddha-Dharma of the two vehicles is called “another country,” because it was not where he had previously grown up, and former existence in saṃsāra was called his “own country.” Dwelling within the Mahāyāna is called the “close friend’s house.” If someone has already generated the mind and is an insider to the Buddha-Dharma, they take the Buddha-Dharma as their own country and saṃsāra as another country; thus it was said previously, “long dwelling in another country for over fifty years.” Before generating the mind, an outsider to the Buddha-Dharma takes saṃsāra as their own country and the Buddha-Dharma as another country; this text is precisely that, and it also accords with what is said in the Nirvāṇa-sūtra. Or, the Mahāyāna is taken as the father’s house, and the Hinayāna as another country; seeking the taste of the true Dharma is called “clothing and food.” Exerting oneself with diligence to seek the true Dharma is called “seeking with strenuous effort and experiencing great hardship.” This is relinquishing the pleasures of the five desires while in the causal stage of the two vehicles; because of [relinquishing] these accessories of negligence, one gains a little. Not progressing further to seek the bodhi of the two vehicles, one then considers it sufficient, because the notion of having already crossed over and the notion of security have arisen.
