第三、研詳去取者，若言此經是第二時教，或第三時說，未明佛性常住者，此經明不思議真性，真性豈非佛性！若言不明常住，此經云「如來之身，即是金剛之體。眾惡永盡，眾善普會。當何有疾」，豈非常住也！次，若言此經是真宗之教，過法華者，何故諸聲聞人於此經中不見佛性，同《法華》、《涅槃》也！次，若言此經即是滿字，明佛性常住者，何故《涅槃》判為生蘇之教！生蘇既不得，即是醍醐，此經何得即與《涅槃》滿字齊也！引諸經論，檢覈眾義，備出《法華玄義》也。

> Third, examining in detail what to reject and what to accept: If it is said that this sūtra is the teaching of the second period or the discourse of the third period and does not yet clarify the permanent abiding of buddha-nature, this sūtra clarifies the inconceivable true nature, and how could the true nature not be buddha-nature? If it is said that it does not clarify permanent abiding, this sūtra states: 'The body of the Tathāgata is a vajra-body. All evils are eternally exhausted, and all goods are universally gathered. How could it have any illness?' How could this not be permanent abiding! Next, if it is said that this sūtra is the teaching of the true tenet and surpasses the Lotus, why is it that the various śrāvakas do not see buddha-nature in this sūtra, as they do in the Lotus and Nirvāṇa? Next, if it is said that this sūtra is the complete letter and clarifies the permanent abiding of buddha-nature, why does the Nirvāṇa classify it as the teaching of curd? Since curd cannot be ghee itself, how could this sūtra be on par with the complete letter of the Nirvāṇa? The citation of various sūtras and treatises and the examination of these various doctrines are fully set forth in the Fahua xuan.
