維摩經略疏 6.38

6.38

問：三教既有後心道場，亦得初心即道場不？答：諸方便教一往約觀何為不得，覈其道理義則不成。何者！方便後心方具、佛法初心不能，豈得為例？但淨名總答，未述其相，是以光嚴重請。

Question: Since the three teachings have a bodhimaṇḍa at the final mind, can their initial mind also be the bodhimaṇḍa or not? Answer: If the various expedient teachings are taken provisionally in terms of contemplation, why could it not be so? But when examining the underlying principle, the meaning does not stand. Why? In the expedients, it is only complete at the final mind, and the initial mind of the buddhadharma cannot [do it]; how could it serve as a precedent? However, Vimalakīrti gave only a general reply and had not yet recounted its particulars; therefore Prabhāvyūha inquired again.
