3.22

三種菩提者,一聲聞菩提、二緣覺菩提、三佛菩提。依其教分,自位究竟。虛通曰道。問:聲聞緣覺既非究竟因,何共佛得菩提名?答:聲聞緣覺,若對於佛即非究竟,若就當位依教分齊、不別作佛,成自羅漢即為究竟,故別得菩提名。若為一乘所目,即屬一乘。餘義如別章。

Regarding the three kinds of bodhi: first, śrāvaka-bodhi; second, pratyekabuddha-bodhi; third, Buddha-bodhi. According to the division of their teachings, their respective stages are ultimate. That which is open and unobstructed is called the 'path.' Question: Since śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas do not possess the ultimate cause, why do they share the name of bodhi with the Buddha? Answer: As for śrāvakas and pratyekabuddhas, if contrasted with the Buddha, they are not ultimate; but if based on their own stage according to the demarcation of the teachings, without separately becoming Buddhas, attaining their own arhatship is ultimate [for them], and therefore they separately obtain the name of bodhi. If designated by the Ekayāna, they then belong to the Ekayāna. The remaining meanings are as in the separate chapter.
