大般涅槃經義記 1.3

1.3

聲聞藏中所教有二：一聲聞聲聞、二緣覺聲聞。聲聞聲聞者，是人先來求聲聞道，常樂觀察四真諦法，成聲聞性，於最後身值佛，為說四真諦法而得悟道，本聲聞性，今復聞聲而得悟道，是故名曰聲聞聲聞，如經中說「求聲聞者為說四諦」。據此為言，緣覺聲聞者，是人本來求緣覺道，常樂觀察十二緣法，於最後身值佛，為說十二緣法而得悟道，本緣覺性，於最後身聞聲悟道，是故名為緣覺聲聞，如經中說「為求緣覺者說十二緣法」。就斯為論，是二雖殊，同求小法，藉教、處等，是故對斯二人所說為聲聞藏。

Those taught within the śrāvaka piṭaka are of two kinds: first, the śrāvaka śrāvaka, and second, the pratyekabuddha śrāvaka. As for the śrāvaka śrāvaka, this person has originally sought the śrāvaka path from before, constantly delighting in contemplating the dharma of the four noble truths and forming a śrāvaka disposition. In their final body, encountering a buddha, the four noble truths are explained to them, and they thereby awaken to the path. Since they originally had a śrāvaka disposition and now also hear the voice [of the Buddha] and thereby awaken to the path, they are therefore called a 'śrāvaka śrāvaka,' as the sūtra states: 'For those who seek to be śrāvakas, the four truths are explained.' Stated on this basis, as for the pratyekabuddha śrāvaka, this person has originally sought the pratyekabuddha path, constantly delighting in contemplating the dharma of the twelve links of dependent origination. In their final body, encountering a buddha, the dharma of the twelve links of dependent origination is explained to them, and they thereby awaken to the path. Having originally a pratyekabuddha disposition, they hear the voice [of the Buddha] in their final body and awaken to the path; therefore they are called a 'pratyekabuddha śrāvaka,' as the sūtra states: 'For those who seek to be pratyekabuddhas, the twelve links of dependent origination are explained.' Discussing it on this ground, although these two are distinct, they equally seek the lesser dharma and rely equally on teaching and place; therefore, that which is spoken for these two persons is the śrāvaka piṭaka.
