法華論疏 2.520

大乘中以六度等為入道方便。以四攝法攝取自身他身利益對治法故者，簡異小乘也。小乘釋起方便但為自身令得解脫，大乘以四攝法俱攝自他悉令住理。對治法者，即是方便亦是住理。

In the Mahāyāna, the six perfections and so forth are taken as skillful means for entering the path. "Because through the four means of embracing they embrace oneself and other bodies, benefiting them with the dharmas that serve as antidotes" distinguishes it from the Hinayāna. The Hinayāna explains the arising of skillful means solely for one's own body so that one attains liberation; the Mahāyāna uses the four means of embracing to embrace both self and others, causing all to abide in the principle. "The dharmas that serve as antidotes" are precisely the skillful means and are also abiding in the principle.
