法華玄贊義決 1.106

1.106

准義雖通，然意約漸悟。何以故？本為聲聞所作事故，欲令聞知難信法故。若據頓悟示密境界，即是令取清淨義竟，何須復說？故對聲聞令捨昔權，示聲聞密境界令取今實，示菩薩密境界。上雖總示令欣，未別令修理智，令修證二果故，有得智觀理對文。

According to the principle, it applies to both; however, the intention focuses on those of gradual awakening. Why is this? Because fundamentally [this teaching] was undertaken for the sake of śrāvakas, wishing to cause them to hear and know the dharma that is hard to believe. If one speaks of showing the esoteric realm with reference to those of sudden awakening, that would just mean causing them to grasp the immaculate meaning completely; why would there be any need to expound it again? Therefore, in addressing the śrāvakas, to cause them to abandon the provisionality of the past, [the Buddha] shows the esoteric realm of the śrāvakas; to cause them to take up the reality of the present, he shows the esoteric realm of the bodhisattvas. Although he generally showed this above to make them rejoice, he had not yet specifically caused them to cultivate wisdom and the principle; in order to cause them to cultivate and realize the two fruits, there is the passage dealing with obtaining wisdom and observing the principle.
