維摩經略疏 6.7

6.7

問：通教既是斷無之真，發智而已，智是行人，說之為自。理但是境，可得是他。別明中理，何不同圓而同通教？答：理雖同圓，機教不等。別明緣真，真雖是常，而理非智，用智觀理未發真智，緣修之智不名為常，故不同圓。

Question: Since the Common Teaching is the truth of extinction into nothingness, it merely generates wisdom; wisdom belongs to the practitioner and is spoken of as self, while the principle is merely the cognitive object and may be regarded as other. The Distinct [Teaching] clarifies the middle principle; why does it not agree with the Perfect, but agrees with the Common Teaching? Answer: Although its principle agrees with the Perfect, the capacities and teaching are not equivalent. The Distinct [Teaching] clarifies conditioned [cultivation directed toward] the true; although the true is eternal, the principle is not wisdom. Using wisdom to contemplate the principle has not yet brought forth true wisdom, and the wisdom of conditioned cultivation is not called eternal; therefore, it does not agree with the Perfect.
