摩訶止觀 5.298

5.298

答：上明修發、不修發、十境交互等，欲示行人淺深法故，敘諸位耳。又欲明半、滿之位，令行者識之耳。又半字入空法，悉是別、圓助道方便。又多僕從而侍衛之，即其義也。又豈離方便而別有真實？即此半字而是滿字。故云：「二乘若智、若斷，即是菩薩無生法忍也。」

Answer: Above, in explaining arising through practice, arising without practice, the ten realms alternating, and so forth, it was to show the practitioner the shallow and profound dharmas that the various stages were recounted. Furthermore, it was desired to clarify the stages of the half and full [doctrines] so that the practitioner might recognize them. Moreover, the methods of entering emptiness of the half-word [doctrine] are all expedients that aid the path of the distinctive and perfect [teachings]. Also, that many servants attend and protect them is precisely this meaning. Furthermore, how could there be an ultimate reality separate from expedients? This very half-word [doctrine] is the full-word [doctrine]. Therefore it is said: 'Whether it is the knowledge or the abandonment of the two vehicles, that is precisely the bodhisattva's forbearance of the non-arising of dharmas.'
