大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 7.2

7.2

疏「二、陳隋」下，天台四教，中二：先敘昔、後順違。前中亦二：先師宗、後立教。師宗言陳隋者，故《天台傳》云「陳隋二代，三帝門師。」謂陳朝一帝，即是後主。隋有二帝，即文帝、煬帝。煬帝為晉王時，即請為菩薩戒師。終於煬帝之時，故云陳隋二代。天台，山名，舉處辯人。僧名智顗，而言智者，帝為立號，美其德也。「承南嶽」者，故韋虛舟傳云「自佛教東流，祕密斯闡，思大師之所證，智者大師之所弘。故思大師一見，便云：『昔日靈山同聽《法華》。宿緣所追，今復來矣。』又入道場澄心云：『非汝不證，非我不知。』」師資傳芳，故並序耳。

Regarding the Commentary's words, "Second, the Chen and Sui dynasties," below, this concerns the Tiantai Four Teachings. Within this there are two parts: first, recounting the past; second, evaluating its agreements and disagreements. In the former there are also two parts: first, the lineage master; second, establishing the teachings. Concerning the lineage master, it mentions the Chen and Sui dynasties; therefore the Tiantai Biography says: "Across the two eras of Chen and Sui, he was teacher to three emperors." That is, one emperor of the Chen dynasty, namely the Last Ruler; and two emperors of the Sui, namely Emperor Wen and Emperor Yang. When Emperor Yang was Prince of Jin, he invited him to be his bodhisattva-precepts master. He passed away during the time of Emperor Yang; hence it says "the two dynasties of Chen and Sui." Tiantai is the name of a mountain; citing the place identifies the person. The monk's name was Zhiyi; as for calling him "Zhizhe" (the Wise One), the emperor conferred this title upon him to praise his virtue. Regarding "succeeding Nanyue," Wei Xuzhou's biography says: "Since the eastward transmission of Buddhism, these esoteric doctrines have been revealed—what Master [Hui]si realized, and what Great Master Zhizhe propagated. Therefore, upon their very first meeting, Master Si said: 'In the past on Vulture Peak we listened together to the Lotus [Sūtra]. Pursued by past affinities, you have come again now.' Furthermore, when entering the bodhimanda with a purified mind, he said: 'Were it not for you, it would not be realized; were it not for me, it would not be recognized.'" Because the fragrant legacy of teacher and disciple was transmitted, both are introduced together.
