摩訶止觀 5.108

5.108

眾生世間既是假名無體，分別攬實法假施設耳。所謂惡道眾生相、性、體、力、究竟等（云云）；善道眾生相、性、體、力、究竟等；無漏眾生相、性、體、力、究竟等；菩薩、佛法界相、性、體、力、究竟等，准例皆可解。

Since the realm of sentient beings is merely a provisional designation without essence, it is differentiated and provisionally established by grasping real dharmas. The so-called evil-destiny sentient beings' characteristics, nature, essence, power, ultimate equality, etc. (and so forth); wholesome-destiny sentient beings' characteristics, nature, essence, power, ultimate equality, etc.; uncontaminated sentient beings' characteristics, nature, essence, power, ultimate equality, etc.; and bodhisattva and Buddha dharmadhātu characteristics, nature, essence, power, ultimate equality, etc.—all can be understood by applying this model.
