首楞嚴義疏注經 7.42

7.42

The name of the fruit of srotāpanna applies to both the Hīnayāna and the Mahāyāna; the Hīnayāna is already known. Now cultivating the Mahāyāna Śūraṅgama samādhi and generating bodhisattva vows, one should discuss the fruit according to the Mahāyāna stages. If, as in the Yingluo benye jing, 'the first bhūmi is called Kumāraka, up to the fourth bhūmi being called Srotāpanna, and the buddha-stage being called Bhagavān-buddha'—were one to match it to this sūtra, it would probably be too lofty and profound. If, in terms of seeing the real, obtaining the forbearance of non-arising dharmas is called srotāpanna, this is extremely fitting; it is precisely the first entry into the stages of the bhūmis and abodes in the Separate and Perfect teachings, which exactly accords with the meaning of Avalokiteśvara's cultivation and realization. If matched to a lower stage, it would likely be inappropriate, because this sūtra speaks of a 'noble fruit' and cultivation by those of 'sharp faculties.' Moreover, because the sūtra below speaks of obtaining the forbearance of non-arising dharmas, which is already realized at the third gradual stage, this presents no difficulty; one must definitely not match it to an unrealized stage. Please examine this in detail.
