妙法蓮華經玄贊 8.362

8.362

贊曰：此釋所由。大菩提法有因有果，有近正因、有遠傍因。教理行果、智性智相、五種智慧並屬此經，由經得故、此經攝故。「開方便門」者，即攝遠、傍，昔說二乘教理行果；「顯真實相」者，攝近、正因，今說一乘教理行果，一切皆盡，故並屬此經。又「深固」者，深謂妙而難測，固謂不可破壞。佛所攝受佛所祕藏，如王齒印非餘人物故。「幽遠」者，大劫修因，妙智證故。非佛不克、無人能到，窮真本源，今化菩薩故謂開示。

The Eulogy states: This explains the reason. The dharma of great bodhi has causes and fruits; it has proximate, correct causes and distant, ancillary causes. Teaching, principle, practice, fruit; wisdom-nature and wisdom-marks; and the five kinds of wisdom all belong to this sūtra, because they are obtained through the sūtra and encompassed by this sūtra. "Opening the gate of expedient means" gathers the distant and ancillary, namely the previously taught teaching, principle, practice, and fruit of the two vehicles; "revealing the true mark" gathers the proximate and correct causes, namely the currently taught teaching, principle, practice, and fruit of the Single Vehicle; all are completely exhausted, and thus all belong to this sūtra. Furthermore, "profound and solid": "profound" means subtle and hard to fathom; "solid" means indestructible. It is embraced by the Buddha and secretly guarded by the Buddha, like a king's crest-gem that is not the possession of others. "Abstruse and distant": because it is realized through wondrous wisdom by cultivating causes over great kalpas. Without the Buddha it cannot be achieved; no one else can reach it; it exhausts the original source of truth; and now, to transform bodhisattvas, it is said to be opened and demonstrated.
