3.29

而諸經赴緣,偏舉一法,以示義端。如《首楞嚴》偏舉止邊;止具一切法,不減少,亦名祕密藏。《智度》、《法華》偏舉觀邊;觀具一切法,不減少。《涅槃》舉三法具足,法亦不多,亦名祕密藏。止觀亦爾,若開若合,開亦不多,合亦不少,一一皆是法界,攝一切法,悉名祕密藏。偏舉尚爾,況圓舉耶?止觀通三德既爾,通諸異名,遠離、知見等,亦如是。又通諸三名,所謂三菩提、三佛性、三寶等,一切三法,亦如是。

Yet the various sūtras, adapting to circumstances, single out one dharma to indicate the outset of the principle. For example, the Śūraṅgama[-samādhi-sūtra] singles out the aspect of calming; calming contains all dharmas without diminution, and is also called the secret storehouse. The [Dà]zhìdù [lùn] and the Lotus [Sūtra] single out the aspect of contemplation; contemplation contains all dharmas without diminution. The [Mahāpari]nirvāṇa[-sūtra] presents the completion of the three dharmas, yet the dharmas are not manifold, and it is also called the secret storehouse. Calming and contemplation are likewise: whether opened or combined, when opened they are not manifold, and when combined they are not diminished; each and every one is the dharmadhātu, embracing all dharmas, and all are named the secret storehouse. If singling out one aspect is already like this, how much more so when presenting them completely? Since calming and contemplation connecting to the three virtues are like this, their connection to the various different names, such as aloofness, knowing and seeing, and so forth, is also like this. Furthermore, connecting to the various threefold designations, namely the three bodhis, the three Buddha-natures, the three jewels, and so forth, all threefold dharmas are also like this.
