問：果是佛說，為彌勒記是佛誘誑，何關彌勒？答：《大論》云「佛坐道場時，不得一法實。空拳誑少兒，誘度於一切。」佛初雖誘進，至實須廢，故用結過以呵彌勒。

> Question: Fruition is spoken of by the Buddha, and prophesying Maitreya was the Buddha's enticing deception; what does this have to do with Maitreya? Answer: The Dàzhìdù lùn says: "When the Buddha sat at the place of enlightenment, he did not apprehend a single dharma as real. With an empty fist he deceived young children, enticing and crossing over all." Although the Buddha initially enticed and led \[them\] forward, when arriving at the real, \[the expedient\] must be discarded; therefore, this fault is concluded in order to rebuke Maitreya.
