大般涅槃經集解 70.37

70.37

案僧亮曰：既云理無偏悟，今既常無常雙解，應成菩薩，何故猶言得羅漢道？夫座席未嘗無小乘小德小智，聖教有始終接下愚之要，故假示小道，使物心稍開。所以十師皆悟近悟也。

Sengliang states: "Since it is said that the principle allows no partial awakening, and now he has simultaneously understood both permanence and impermanence, he should have become a bodhisattva; why does it still say he attained the way of an arhat? In assemblies there are never lacking those of the Small Vehicle, of small virtue and small wisdom; the sacred teachings have the necessity of guiding the lower and foolish from beginning to end, hence provisionally displaying the small path to cause people's minds to gradually open. Thus the ten masters all attained an immediate awakening."
