### [1.38](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1887b.1.38)

法記云：迷之者者，下四教人也，以不知一乘無住本法故也。守跡不知失體者，比如獵人空守兔跡，不知兔身之遠也。如是三乘之人三無數劫如說修行，所得之果只是迹耳。守為究竟，不知失其一乘實體故也。勤而歸宗未日者，無量億那由他劫行六波羅密，修習種種菩提分法，故云勤也。然而還於一乘之家無日，故云歸宗未日也。

> Fa's Record states: As for "those who are confused about it": they are people of the lower four teachings, because they do not know the non-abiding fundamental Dharma of the One Vehicle. As for "clinging to the tracks, they do not know that they have lost the substance": it is like a hunter vainly guarding a rabbit's tracks, not knowing how far away the rabbit's body is. Likewise, people of the three vehicles cultivate and practice as expounded for three incalculable kalpas, yet the fruit they attain is merely tracks; clinging to it as ultimate, they do not know they have lost the real substance of the One Vehicle. As for "toiling diligently, there is no day of returning to the source": practicing the six pāramitās and cultivating various bodhipakṣa dharmas for immeasurable kotis of nayutas of kalpas is why it is called "toiling diligently." Yet, there is no day when they return to the house of the One Vehicle; hence it is said that "there is no day of returning to the source."
