法華論疏 2.474

2.474

As for the doubt of the bodhisattvas: since the Buddha is said to appear in the world for one great matter, yet formerly it was explained that he appeared in the world in relation to the affairs of the five vehicles, then the present and the past contradict each other. This is why they doubt. For this reason, it is now explained that the past was an expedient means stating that it was for five, but speaking from the perspective of principle, it is ultimately for one matter, because of the identical dharmakāya. The bodhisattvas' doubts are eliminated, and so they are able to practice in accordance with reality.
