新華嚴經論 1.26

1.26

第七《法華經》會權入實為宗者，此經引彼三乘之人，歸一乘實教故。引眾流而歸大海，攝三乘而還一源，藏法師等前諸大德會為共教，一乘為三乘同聞法故；《華嚴經》為別教，一乘為不與三乘同聞故。參詳此理，會此二門，《法華經》引權器以歸真，《華嚴》者頓大根而直受。雖一乘名合，法事略同；論其軌範、有多差別。今欲備舉事廣難周，略舉十門用知綱目。十門者：一教主別、二放光別、三國土別、四請法主別、五大會莊嚴真化別、六序分之中列眾別、七龍女轉身成佛別、八龍女成佛所居國土別、九六千之眾發心別、十授諸聲聞遠記別。

Seventh, regarding 'taking the convergence of the provisional into the ultimate as the main purport' in the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka Sūtra: this sūtra leads those people of the Three Vehicles to return to the ultimate teaching of the One Vehicle. It leads the many streams to return to the great ocean, and gathers the Three Vehicles to return to the single source. Master [Fazang] and earlier worthies harmonized them by considering [the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka] to be the common teaching (gòngjiào), because the One Vehicle is the Dharma heard in common with the Three Vehicles; whereas the Avataṃsaka Sūtra is the distinct teaching (biéjiào), because the One Vehicle is not heard in common with the Three Vehicles. Examining this principle and harmonizing these two gates: the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka Sūtra leads vessels of provisional capacity to return to the true, whereas the Avataṃsaka suddenly presents to those of great faculty and directly confers [it]. Although the designation 'One Vehicle' is identical and the Dharma affairs are broadly similar, when discussing their norms and standards, there are many differences. If one wished to enumerate them all, the matters are so vast that it would be difficult to be comprehensive; here I will briefly raise ten gates so that their essential outline may be known. The ten gates are: first, the difference in the lord of the teaching; second, the difference in the emission of light; third, the difference in the land; fourth, the difference in the requester of the Dharma; fifth, the difference in the adornment of the great assembly between true and transformed; sixth, the difference in the enumeration of the assembly in the introductory section; seventh, the difference in the dragon girl transforming her body to attain Buddhahood; eighth, the difference in the land inhabited by the dragon girl upon attaining Buddhahood; ninth, the difference in the resolve of the assembly of six thousand; tenth, the difference in bestowing distant predictions upon the śrāvakas.
