摩訶止觀 7.6

### [7.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.taisho.1911.7.6)

人師過如此，《釋論》意云何？論有二文，初以二乘為四百而止，不作五百；後文以二乘為一百。今通之，論明通意，通家以真諦為極，過三界已，未破化城，但入涅槃，即指涅槃為四百耳。而復以二乘為一百者，更明出假菩薩從空出假，非涅槃為一百，入三界為三百。作如此消文，於經論無妨也。

> Such are the faults of human teachers. What is the intention of the Treatise (Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa)? The Treatise contains two passages. The first passage stops at taking the two vehicles as four hundred \[yojanas\], not making it five hundred; the later passage takes the two vehicles as one hundred. Now, to reconcile them: the Treatise explains the intention of the shared \[teaching\]. The shared tradition takes the truth of emptiness (ultimate truth) as the ultimate; having surpassed the three realms, not having destroyed the transformed city, they merely enter nirvāṇa, so it precisely designates nirvāṇa as four hundred. But as for further taking the two vehicles as one hundred, it further explains that the bodhisattva emerging from provisionality comes out of emptiness into provisionality: it is not that nirvāṇa is one hundred, but that entering the three realms is three hundred. Construing the text in this manner does not conflict with the sūtras and treatises.
