維摩經略疏垂裕記 1.65

Second, from "Question: This..." downward, resolving difficulties against the treatises has two parts: first, citing the treatise to formally pose the question, which has two parts: first, citing the treatise to establish the question; second, from "Answer" downward, resolving the difficulty based on principle, which has two parts: first, rejecting the old and revealing the present; second, from "Therefore the treatise" downward, citing the treatise to show the meaning. In the text, the treatise is cited first. From "Therefore the Huayan" downward, the present master shows the meaning. The treatise says "not shared with the two vehicles," which is identical to "not falling into the hands of the two vehicles." The hand, because it receives objects, symbolizes faith and power, hence receiving the Dharma. When the two vehicles do not hear it, from where could they give rise to faith? Thus it is said "not falling into the hands." "That is, being expounded in common," etc.: Jingxi states: "This clarifies the common division (gongbu), and is not concerned with the common teaching (gongjiao)." Therefore these two types of "common" both share with the two vehicles; the Prajñā and Vaipulya scriptures both have the two vehicles, which is called the common division. It is universally called the common teaching because the three types of persons practice and learn together.
