法華玄贊義決 1.15

1.15

六為顯六，有六：一示現六動，令眾警悟故。二現六趣，令眾厭怖故，下文云，盡見彼土六趣眾生。三現行六度，勸令修學，如下頌說。四明與六記，論云：一未聞令聞、二說、三依何義、四令住、五依法、六遮，配文可知。顯正逗機，令取捨故。五顯莊嚴六根，勸令持讀，如〈法師功德品〉廣說，應知令持經故。六明六種授記，令知當果地起決定學心故，謂別記、同記、後記、無怨惡記、通行記、具因記，廣如論辨。

Sixth, there are six items demonstrating 'six': (1) manifesting the six quakings, to awaken and alert the assembly; (2) manifesting the six destinies, to make the assembly feel weariness and dread, as the text below says: 'He saw completely the sentient beings of the six destinies in that land'; (3) displaying the practice of the six pāramitās, encouraging [beings] to cultivate and study them, as taught in the verses below; (4) clarifying the giving of the six instructions, where the treatise says: 'first, making those who have not heard hear; second, explaining; third, relying on what meaning; fourth, causing to abide; fifth, relying on the Dharma; sixth, prohibiting'—correlating them with the text will make them clear—showing that it directly addresses capacities and causes them to choose and discard; (5) demonstrating the adornment of the six sense-faculties, encouraging [beings] to uphold and read [the sūtra], as explained in detail in the 'Merits of the Dharma Master' chapter, which should be known to induce the upholding of the sūtra; (6) clarifying the six kinds of prophecy, to make [beings] know the future stage of fruition and give rise to a resolute mind to train, namely: individual prophecy, collective prophecy, subsequent prophecy, prophecy without enmity, prophecy of common course, and prophecy of complete cause, as explained extensively in the treatise.
