大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 7.25

7.25

疏「所以不名小乘」下，第四明不名小乘所以，通第五難。謂有難言：何以不名小乘，強立三藏而招多失？故今通云：以有大乘故，不得名小。彼教之中亦有菩薩，謂是大乘。大乘之中望之，皆稱三藏小教。言「六度菩薩」者，謂三僧祇耶別修六度，各有滿時，皆是有漏未入見道，以無常狼伏貪愛羊，令煩惱脂消、功德身肥，直至菩提樹下，三十四心一時斷結，以見諦十六心八忍八智，及非想一地修惑分為九品，各有九無間九解脫，成其十八，故有三十四耳。廣如《俱舍》、《涅槃》等說。言「成真佛」者，大乘說此斷惑成佛，乃是八相化身。小乘謂為實成，故屬小教。故《涅槃》中詺此執實，以為二乘曲見。

In the commentary, from “As for why it is not named Hinayāna” onward, the fourth [clause] explains why it is not called Hinayāna, resolving the fifth objection. That is to say, an objection asks: Why not name it Hinayāna, instead of forcibly establishing “Tripiṭaka” and incurring many faults? Thus it is now resolved: Because there is the Mahāyāna, it cannot be called small. Within that teaching there are also bodhisattvas who are deemed Mahāyāna. From the perspective of the Mahāyāna, they are all designated the small teaching of the Tripiṭaka. “Bodhisattvas of the six pāramitās” refers to those who separately practice the six pāramitās over three asaṃkhyeyas, each having a time of fulfillment, yet all being contaminated and not having entered the path of seeing—subduing the sheep of craving with the wolf of impermanence, melting away the fat of defilement, and fattening the body of merit, right up until they sit under the Bodhi tree, where thirty-four mental moments simultaneously sever the bonds: through the sixteen moments of seeing the truths (eight patiences and eight cognitions), together with the nine grades of cultivating defilements in the single stage of neither-perception-nor-non-perception, each having nine unhindered and nine liberated [paths], constituting eighteen, so that there are thirty-four in total. This is explained extensively in the Kośa, the Nirvāṇa Sūtra, and elsewhere. As for “attaining the true Buddha,” the Mahāyāna says that this severing of afflictions and attaining buddhahood is merely the transformation body with eight aspects. The Hinayāna regards it as real attainment, and therefore it belongs to the small teaching. Thus, in the Nirvāṇa Sūtra, this clinging to reality is termed the crooked view of the two vehicles.
