法華玄贊義決 1.39

1.39

三者欲明三世諸佛權實二智相資成，故說於此經，非實無以顯權、非權無以顯實，實有起權之功、權有資實之用故。下文云：於一佛乘分別說三，即從實起權。我設是方便令得入佛慧，則以權通實。稟教之徒或執權亡實，昔執三乘人不能悟入一乘之道；或執實亡權者，聞法華一乘謂無三乘，說破可知。

Third, this sūtra was spoken because [the Buddha] wished to illuminate how the provisional and real wisdoms of all buddhas of the three times assist and complete each other. Without the real, there is no way to reveal the provisional; without the provisional, there is no way to reveal the real. This is because the real functions to give rise to the provisional, and the provisional functions to assist the real. The lower text says: "Within the One Buddha Vehicle, the three are discriminatively taught"—this is giving rise to the provisional from the real. "I set up these expedient means to cause them to enter the buddha-wisdom"—this is penetrating the real by means of the provisional. Among the followers who received the teachings, some clung to the provisional and lost the real: those who clung to the three vehicles in the past could not awaken and enter the way of the One Vehicle. Or, those who cling to the real and lose the provisional hear of the One Vehicle of the *Lotus* and think that the three vehicles do not exist. Refuting them can be understood from what has been said.
