摩訶止觀 3.112

3.112

故《法華》云：「佛知眾生種種欲、種種行、種種性、種種憶想。」即此四意。何故爾？種種欲，是隨世界；種種性，是生善；種種行，是對治；種種憶想，是第一義。

Therefore the Lotus Sūtra says: 'The Buddha knows the various desires, various practices, various natures, and various recollections of sentient beings.' These are precisely these four intentions. Why is this? The various desires correspond to the worldly; the various natures generate good; the various practices are the counteractive; and the various recollections are the supreme meaning.
