觀無量壽佛經疏 4.6

4.6

今此十一門義者，約對九品之文。就一一品中皆有此十一，即為一百番義也。又此十一門義，就上輩文前總料簡亦得，或就中下輩文前各料簡亦得。又此義若以文來勘者，即有具不具。雖有隱顯，若據其道理悉皆合有。為此因緣，故須廣開顯出，欲令依行者易解易識也。上來雖有十一門不同，廣料簡上輩三品義意竟。

Now, the meaning of these eleven gates corresponds to the text of the nine levels. Each single level has these eleven, thus making one hundred and ten items of meaning. Furthermore, this meaning of eleven gates can be generally discriminated before the text of the upper grade, or can each be discriminated before the texts of the middle and lower grades. Moreover, if this meaning is examined against the text, there are cases of being complete or incomplete. Although there is implicit and explicit [expression], in terms of principle all should be present. For this reason, it is necessary to broadly open and reveal them, wishing to enable practitioners who rely on them to easily understand and recognize them. Although above there are eleven different gates, the detailed discrimination of the meaning of the three levels of the upper grade is concluded.
