止觀輔行傳弘決 2.67

2.67

四明裂大綱者，裂破執於權教疑網。初文通除自他疑網，故云「通裂」。乃至須曉漸頓諸教出自一心，若不善用不思議觀觀於一心不思議境，何由可裂執教大疑？「若欲」下，為利他故裂他疑網。今明果報且語初住，以初得故。越却中間，故云「乃至」。「成佛」即指妙覺。初住已去通能八相裂大疑故，故云裂網。自此已去節節能起十法界化，是故法王乃至八部皆云或也。言「頓漸」者，皆如今佛先頓後漸等也。對揚及轉，如前分別。眾生機熟，必假菩薩承佛力答及設問等，如此自他皆由妙觀契於妙境，是故能有如是妙用。

Fourth, explaining "tearing open the grand net" means tearing open and breaking the net of doubts attached to the provisional teachings. The initial text comprehensively removes the net of doubts of oneself and others, and is thus called "comprehensively tearing open." Furthermore, one must understand that the gradual and sudden teachings all issue from the single mind; if one does not skillfully use the inconceivable contemplation to contemplate the inconceivable object of the single mind, by what means could one tear open the great doubts attached to the teachings? From "If one desires" downward, it is for the sake of benefiting others that one tears open the net of doubts of others. In presently clarifying the retributive fruit, it temporarily speaks of the first abode because it is first attained. Bypassing the intermediate [stages], it thus says "up to." "Attaining Buddhahood" refers precisely to wondrous enlightenment. Because from the first abode onward one is universally capable of the eight phases [of a Buddha's life] to tear open great doubts, it is called tearing open the net. From this point onward, at every juncture one can give rise to transformations throughout the ten dharma realms; therefore, from the Dharma King down to the eight classes [of beings], it always says "or." As for "sudden and gradual," these are all like the present Buddha first [teaching] the sudden and then the gradual, and so forth. Interlocution and turning [the wheel of the Dharma] are distinguished as before. When the capacities of sentient beings are mature, they must rely on bodhisattvas receiving the Buddha's power to answer, raise questions, and so forth. In this way, both self and other depend entirely on the wondrous contemplation tallying with the wondrous object; therefore, they can possess such wondrous functions.
