華嚴一乘教義分齊章 2.31

- **Language:** Classical Chinese

### [2.31](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1866.2.31)

其行相者，《起信論》說「三賢初位中少分得見法身，能於十方世界八相成道，利益眾生。又以願力受身自在，亦非業繫。又依三昧，亦得少分見於報身佛。其所修行皆順真性，謂知法性體無慳貪，隨順修行檀波羅蜜」等，廣如彼說。又梁《攝論》中，十信名凡夫菩薩，十解名聖人菩薩等，其地上行位倍前準知。是故當知，此中行位與前始教淺深之相差別顯矣。問：「此教豈不通引二乘，何故行位不似小乘說耶？」答：「此後諸教並皆深勝，所引二乘亦是純熟高勝機故，不假似彼也。」

> As for their characteristics of practice, the Awakening of Faith says: "In the initial stage of the three ranks of the worthy, one partially attains sight of the dharmakāya, is able to manifest the eight aspects of attaining the path in the worlds of the ten directions, and benefits sentient beings. Furthermore, by the power of vows one takes birth with mastery, not bound by karma. Moreover, relying on samādhi, one also partially attains sight of the saṃbhogakāya Buddha. One's cultivations all accord with the true nature: that is, knowing that the essence of the dharmatā is free of parsimony, one accords with it in practicing dānapāramitā," and so forth, as fully explained therein. Furthermore, in the Liang translation of the Mahāyānasaṃgraha, the ten faiths are called ordinary bodhisattvas, the ten understandings are called noble bodhisattvas, and so forth; the stages of practice on the bhūmis should be understood as doubling those prior. Therefore, one should know that the differences in the aspects of shallowness and depth between the stages of practice here and those of the preceding initial teaching are manifest. Question: "Does this teaching not also generally guide the two vehicles? Why are the stages of practice not explained to resemble the Hīnayāna?" Answer: "All these subsequent teachings are profound and supreme, and the two vehicles they guide also have fully matured, highly elevated capacities; hence there is no need to resemble them."
