4.54

十者、託事顯法生解門。此上諸義隨託之事以別顯別法,謂諸理事等一切法門,如此經中說十種寶王雲等事相者,此即諸法門也。顯上諸義可貴故,立寶以表之;顯上諸義自在故,標王以表之;顯上諸義潤益故、資澤故、齗齗故,以雲標之矣。如是等事云云無量,如經思之。問:「三乘中以有此義,與此何別?」答:「三乘託異事相表顯異理,今此一乘所託之事相即是彼所現道理,更無異也。具足一切理事教義及上諸法門,無不攝盡者也,宜可如理思之。」

Tenth is the approach of relying on things to manifest dharmas and generate understanding. The meanings above rely on diverse things according to the occasion to individually manifest distinct dharmas—that is to say, all teaching approaches of principles, phenomena, and so forth. Just as the phenomena like the ten kinds of precious-jewel-king clouds are expounded in this sūtra, these are precisely the various teaching approaches. To manifest that the above meanings are precious, a jewel is established to represent them; to manifest that the above meanings are sovereign, a king is designated to represent them; to manifest that the above meanings moisten and benefit, enrich and nourish, and spread abundantly, they are designated by clouds. Such matters are immeasurably numerous, as should be contemplated according to the sūtra. Question: 'Since this meaning also exists in the Three Vehicles, what is the difference with this?' Answer: 'The Three Vehicles rely on distinct phenomena to represent and manifest distinct principles; now, the phenomena relied upon in this One Vehicle are themselves the very principles manifested, without any difference. They are fully endowed with all principles, phenomena, teachings, meanings, and the above teaching approaches, leaving none ungathered. One should properly reflect on this.'
