注維摩詰經 8.176

8.176

什曰：如來說法，其要有三：一軟善語、二剛強語、三雜說。善行樂果，軟善語也。惡行苦果，剛強語也。讚善毀惡，雜說也。肇曰：聖化何常？隨物而應耳。此土剛強，故以剛強之教而應焉。

[Kumāra]jīva says: When the Tathāgata preaches the Dharma, the essentials are three: first, soft and gentle words; second, unyielding words; third, mixed explanations. Wholesome actions and pleasant results are soft and gentle words. Evil actions and painful results are unyielding words. Praising the good and disparaging the evil is mixed explanation. [Seng]zhao says: How could holy transformation be constant? It merely responds according to things. Since this land is unyielding, he responds with unyielding teachings.
