新華嚴經論 2.26

2.26

八此經若有大心眾生於此法門深生信心，不讀餘經，深明體用，以小方便疾得菩提。初發心時十住之首，位齊佛果。〈如來出現品〉中說云「設有菩薩於無量百千那由他劫行六波羅蜜修集種種菩提分法，若未聞此如來不思議大威德法門，或時聞已不信不解不順不入，名為假名菩薩，以不能生如來家故。若得聞此如來無量不可思議無障無礙智慧法門已，信解隨順悟入，當知此人生如來家，隨順一切如來境界。」又下文「佛子！菩薩摩訶薩成就如是功德，少作功力得無師自然智。」普賢菩薩言：「見佛聞法不生信者，亦成解脫智種。」作食少金剛等喻，廣如經說。此經有如是大威德不思議法門，超諸三乘廣大無比。

Eighth, in this sūtra, if sentient beings of great aspiration give rise to deep faith in this Dharma gate, do not read other sūtras, deeply understand essence and function, and use small expedient means, they swiftly attain bodhi. At the time of first giving rise to the mind, at the head of the ten abodes, their stage is equal to the Buddha fruit. As stated in the 'Chapter on the Manifestation of the Tathāgata': 'Suppose a bodhisattva practices the six pāramitās and cultivates the various factors of bodhi for limitless hundreds of thousands of nayutas of kalpas; if they have not heard this inconceivable Dharma gate of the Tathāgata's great awe-inspiring virtue, or having heard it do not believe, understand, accord with, or enter it, they are called a nominal bodhisattva, because they cannot be born into the house of the Tathāgata. If they hear this Dharma gate of the Tathāgata's limitless, inconceivable, unimpeded wisdom, and having heard it believe, understand, accord with, and awaken to enter it, one should know that this person is born into the house of the Tathāgata, according with all realms of the Tathāgata.' It also states below: 'Sons of the Buddha! When a bodhisattva-mahāsattva accomplishes such merit, with little effort they attain the unprompted, spontaneous wisdom without a teacher.' Bodhisattva Samantabhadra said: 'Those who see the Buddha and hear the Dharma without giving rise to faith also form the wisdom-seed of liberation.' Through similes such as consuming a tiny piece of vajra, it is expounded at length as in the sūtra. This sūtra possesses such inconceivable Dharma gates of great awe-inspiring virtue, surpassing the three vehicles, vast and incomparable.
