華嚴一乘教義分齊章 1.44

1.44

初中又二：先示相、後開合。初中有三義：一者，如露地牛車自有教義，謂十十無盡，主伴具足。如《華嚴》說，此當別教一乘。二者，如臨門三車自有教義，謂界內示為教，得出為義，仍教義即無分，此當三乘教。如餘經及《瑜伽》等說。三者，以臨門三車為開方便教，界外別授大白牛車方為示真實義。此當同教一乘，如《法華經》說。

Within the first there are also two: first, showing the characteristics; second, opening and combining. Within the first there are three meanings: First, just as the bullock cart on the open ground has its own teaching and meaning—namely, ten times ten inexhaustible, with lord and attendant fully complete, as expounded in the Avataṃsaka—this corresponds to the distinct teaching of the One Vehicle. Second, just as the three carts at the gate have their own teaching and meaning—namely, display within the realms being the teaching, and attaining escape being the meaning, yet teaching and meaning are without division—this corresponds to the teaching of the Three Vehicles, as expounded in other sūtras, the Yogācārabhūmi, and so forth. Third, taking the three carts at the gate as the teaching that opens up expedients (upāya), while separately conferring the great white bullock cart outside the realm is showing the true meaning. This corresponds to the common teaching of the One Vehicle, as expounded in the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka-sūtra.
