6.272

肇曰:無乘不乘乃為大乘,故以香林為諭。明淨名之室不雜二乘之香,止此室者豈他嗅哉?以此可知吾志何乘也。生曰:維摩詰居此室而應者,大明宗極之理也。而宗極之理無取小義,此則表佛功德外勳矣。

[Seng]zhao says: Having no vehicle and no non-vehicle is precisely the Mahāyāna, which is why the fragrant grove is used as a metaphor. It clarifies that the room of the Pure Name is not mingled with the fragrance of the two vehicles; could one who stays in this room smell anything else? From this one can know what vehicle my aspiration is. [Dao]sheng says: That Vimalakīrti dwells in this room and responds is a great illumination of the ultimate principle. And the ultimate principle does not adopt lesser meanings; this illustrates the Buddha's virtues perfuming outward.
