摩訶止觀 3.219

3.219

立權略為三意：一、為實施權，二、開權顯實，三、廢權顯實。如《法華》中蓮華三譬。諸佛即一大事出世，元為圓頓一實止觀，而施三權止觀也。權非本意，意亦不在權外；祇開三權止觀，而顯圓頓一實止觀也。為實施權，實今已立；開權顯實，權即是實，無權可論；是故廢權顯實，權廢實存。暫用釋名，其義為允。

Establishing the provisional briefly has three purports: first, applying the provisional for the sake of the real; second, opening the provisional to reveal the real; third, abandoning the provisional to reveal the real. This is like the three analogies of the lotus in the Lotus Sūtra. The Buddhas appear in the world for the one great matter, originally applying the three provisional [modes of] calming and contemplation for the sake of the perfect-sudden, one real calming and contemplation. The provisional was not the original intention, nor does the intention lie outside the provisional; it is merely opening the three provisional [modes of] calming and contemplation to reveal the perfect-sudden, one real calming and contemplation. In applying the provisional for the sake of the real, the real is now established; in opening the provisional to reveal the real, the provisional is identical to the real, and there is no provisional that can be discussed; therefore, in abandoning the provisional to reveal the real, the provisional is abandoned and the real remains. Temporarily employing [these] to explain the names, their meaning is appropriate.
