新華嚴經論 3.14

3.14

第二陳朝真諦三藏立二教者，謂一漸、二頓。約漸悟菩薩，大由小起，所設具有三乘之教名為漸，即《涅槃》等經。若約直往頓機，大不由小起，所設教唯菩薩乘，故名為頓，即《華嚴經》是。大遠法師亦同此說。

Second, as for Tripiṭaka Master Paramārtha of the Chen dynasty establishing two teachings: they are, first, the gradual, and second, the sudden. With regard to gradual-awakening bodhisattvas, where the great arises from the small, the teaching established possesses the three vehicles and is named the gradual, namely sūtras such as the Mahāparinirvāṇa. If with regard to direct-proceeding, sudden capacities, where the great does not arise from the small, the teaching established is solely the Bodhisattva Vehicle, hence it is named sudden, which is the Buddhāvataṃsaka Sūtra. Dharma Master Dayuan also shared this view.
