「第七大小乘相」者，知實為法，知權為義，會三歸一為詞，開方便門為樂說。言「唯一事實」者，即《法華》第一云「唯此一事實，餘二則非真。」二中，順機說權，即是義意。三中，「三乘同歸一實」者，亦第一經云「舍利弗當知，諸佛語無異，於佛所說法，當生大信力。世尊法久後，要當說真實。告諸聲聞眾，及求緣覺乘，我令脫苦縛，逮得涅槃者。佛以方便力，示以三乘教，眾生起處著，引之令得出。」又第三經云「汝等所行是菩薩道，漸漸修學悉當成佛。」三周之經皆是會三方便歸一真實。言「解脫相中無差別」者，第三經〈藥草喻品〉云「如來知是一相一味之法，所謂解脫相、離相、滅相、究竟涅槃常寂滅相，終歸於空。」即解脫中無差別也。又第二經云「但離虛妄，名為解脫，其實未得一切解脫。」則一切解脫三乘同歸也。

> "Seventh, the characteristics of the Great and Small Vehicles": knowing the real is Dharma; knowing the provisional is meaning; converging the three to return to the one is expressions; opening the gate of upāya is delight in exposition. Saying "only this one thing is real" refers to the Lotus Sūtra, fascicle one, stating: "Only this one thing is real; the other two are not true." In the second, expounding the provisional in accordance with capacities is precisely the import of meaning. In the third, "the three vehicles together returning to the one real" also refers to the first fascicle, which states: / "Śāriputra, you should know: / The words of all Buddhas do not differ. / In the Dharma expounded by the Buddha, / You should give rise to great faith. / Long after the Dharma of the World-Honoured One, / He will certainly expound the true reality. / Declaring to all the assembly of śrāvakas / And those seeking the pratyekabuddha vehicle: / 'I caused you to be freed from the bondage of suffering / And attain nirvāṇa.' / The Buddha, through the power of upāya, / Displayed the teachings of the three vehicles; / Sentient beings give rise to attachments in various places, / So he led them forth to attain deliverance." / Furthermore, the third fascicle states: "What you practice is the bodhisattva path; gradually training and learning, you shall all become Buddhas." The sūtras of the three cycles are all the upāya of converging the three to return to the one true reality. Saying "without difference in the characteristic of liberation" refers to the third fascicle, the "Chapter on the Parable of the Medicinal Herbs": "The Tathāgata knows that this Dharma is of one characteristic and one flavor, namely: the characteristic of liberation, the characteristic of detachment, the characteristic of cessation, and the characteristic of the ultimate nirvāṇa of constant quiescence, ultimately returning to emptiness." That is, there is no difference within liberation. Furthermore, the second fascicle states: "Merely being detached from falsehood is called liberation, but in truth they have not yet attained total liberation." Thus, all three vehicles together return to total liberation.
