問：阿難但結集小乘、亦大乘耶？答：解者不同。有言，但結集小乘。諸大乘經是文殊、彌勒等所共結集。又言，阿難亦結集共二乘說大乘經，故《大品》付屬阿難，此經亦爾。其不共者，大菩薩集也。又云，阿難亦結集不共二乘人說，如《正法念》云「阿難有三種：一阿難賢、二阿難持、三阿難海。」今謂阿難賢持三藏教，阿難持持共大乘，阿難海持不共大乘。故《法華》云「阿難聞佛授記，即時憶念過去無量千萬億諸佛法藏如今所聞，亦識本願。」豈不備持一佛之教？

> Question: Did Ānanda compile only the Hīnayāna, or also the Mahāyāna?  
> Answer: Commentators differ. Some say he compiled only the Hīnayāna, while the various Mahāyāna sūtras were compiled together by Mañjuśrī, Maitreya, and others. Others say that Ānanda also compiled the Mahāyāna sūtras preached shared with the two vehicles; thus the Dàpǐn was entrusted to Ānanda, and this sūtra is likewise. Those not shared \[with the two vehicles\] were compiled by the great bodhisattvas. Still others say that Ānanda also compiled those not preached shared with the persons of the two vehicles, as the Saddharmasmṛtyupasthāna states: "There are three kinds of Ānanda: first, Ānanda the Worthy; second, Ānanda the Holder; third, Ānanda the Ocean." Now we maintain that Ānanda the Worthy held the Tripiṭaka teaching, Ānanda the Holder held the shared Mahāyāna, and Ānanda the Ocean held the unshared Mahāyāna. Therefore the Lotus Sūtra says: "When Ānanda heard the Buddha's conferral of prophecy, he immediately recollected the Dharma treasuries of immeasurable thousands of myriads of koṭis of past buddhas as he hears them now, and also recognized his fundamental vow." How could he not fully hold the teaching of a buddha?
