維摩經略疏垂裕記 8.24

8.24

Fourth, serving as a prelude for entering the *Larger Prajñāpāramitā* and the *Lotus Sūtra*. As for "those who have already entered the correct determination," these are the two vehicles who have realized the fruit. As for "although previously," and so forth, Jingxi says: The previous [statement] was based on those who had not yet transformed. It is also possible that there were already people whose faculties had transformed and those who had secret awakenings. The textual appearances above and below are all like this: words are not repeatedly applied, the text is partial while the phenomena are complete, so it is spoken entirely from the perspective of what is manifest in an initial pass. As for "if reaching the *Larger Prajñāpāramitā*," and so forth, this text is also spoken according to sequential order; it cannot be equated with the previous contemplation of transforming the teaching. Since the overarching purport was already summarized previously, everything below at every place is treated separately for the time being, and its intention must again be described. Therefore it says that for sharp faculties, the time of awakening is indefinite, fully as expounded before.
