佛遺教經論疏節要 1.502

1.502

〔補註〕最後者，猶著述家所謂絕筆也。又前所謂臨終之語語必切要是也。故如來末後殷勤，必欲萬世遵而守之也。問：此既云小乘訓世，何前言不得約小機屬藏教？答：論云「此經每說比丘者，示遠離相故。復示摩訶衍方便道，與二乘共故。」則知此經正為二乘，傍兼菩薩。云小乘訓世者，舉多分也。此馬鳴深旨也。

[Supplementary note:] 'Final' is like what authors call their last work. Furthermore, it is what was previously referred to as words spoken at the point of death, which must be urgent and essential. Therefore, the Tathāgata was earnest at the very end, wishing for ten thousand generations to follow and uphold it. Question: Since it says here that he 'taught the world with the Hinayāna', why did you say earlier that it should not be restricted to the lesser capacity and classified under the Tripiṭaka Teaching? Answer: The treatise says: 'That this sūtra frequently speaks of bhikṣus indicates the mark of seclusion. Furthermore, it indicates the upāya-mārga of the Mahāyāna, because it is shared with the two vehicles.' Thus we know that this sūtra is primarily for the two vehicles, and secondarily encompasses bodhisattvas. Saying 'teaching the world with the Hinayāna' speaks of the majority. This is the profound intent of Aśvaghoṣa.
