第一教興中。標云意者，為屬於誰？答：觀前二意，似屬於佛；據下諸門，則有相妨。今須一概並為祖意，以毘尼教旨，昔世未聞；縱有所明，猶非盡理。十門意趣，出自今師；故以序字屬於能序，教興二字即為所序；意之一字，通指此門。又文標十意，謂裁度之懷；前云十門，謂由之而入；後言十條，謂義類不同；並對下諸篇，隨名不定。

In the first [section], “The Arising of the Teaching”: With respect to the heading designating “intent,” to whom does it belong? Answer: Observing the first two intents, they seem to belong to the Buddha; yet judging from the subsequent sections, this presents an impediment. Now, they must all uniformly be taken as the Patriarchal Master's intent, because the purport of the Vinaya teaching had not been heard of in past generations; even if something had been explained, it still did not exhaust the principle. The import of the ten sections originates with our present teacher; thus the word “preface” belongs to the one who prefaces, and the two words “arising of the teaching” are what is prefaced; the single word “intent” generally points to this section. Furthermore, the text designates “ten intents,” referring to the thoughts that deliberate and measure; earlier it said “ten gates,” meaning that through which one enters; later it says “ten articles,” meaning that the doctrinal categories differ; all of these correspond to the various chapters below, varying unfixedly according to their names.
