維摩經玄疏 3.100

3.100

In the Middle Vehicle teaching gate of the pratyekabuddhas, the truth of origination comes first; contemplating the twelve links of dependent origination, they give rise to true uncontaminated [wisdom], completely cutting off the bonds of the three realms, encroaching upon and removing habit energies, possessing the three clarities and the eight liberations. Although they have a little compassion, they cannot deliver beings, and also enter nirvāṇa within a single lifetime. Therefore the Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa says: "Like a deer in a hunting net, jumping out on its own in alarm. Although looking back at the herd, out of fear it does not stop to wait." Now we also do not classify Vimalakīrti's stage based on this.
