四教義 11.4

11.4

一約斷無明判高下不同者，若別教明位，同三十心斷界內結盡，即伏界外無明，至迴向後心，初地方發真智斷無明一品，乃至斷十品名為十地，等覺後心斷無明方盡，妙覺常果蕭然累外無所斷也。此如前說。若圓教所明，從初隨喜心修一心三觀入十信位，斷界內惑盡即伏界外無明，十住初心即發真智，斷無明住地初品，從此四十心皆斷無明，至等覺後心無明方盡，妙覺極地肅然累外名究竟菩提、無上之涅槃也。此即判位高下殊別，故有圓、別二教明位不同也。

First, the difference in determining higher and lower in terms of severing ignorance: In clarifying stages according to the distinctive teaching, after exhausting the fetters within the realms throughout the thirty minds, one subdues ignorance beyond the realms; only at the final mind of the dedication [stages] does one generate true wisdom in the first bhūmi and sever one grade of ignorance, and so on up to severing ten grades, which is called the ten bhūmis; only at the final mind of equal enlightenment is ignorance exhausted; the eternal fruit of wondrous enlightenment is aloof and transcendent beyond all defilements with nothing left to sever. This is as explained before. As clarified by the perfect teaching, from the initial mind of rejoicing, cultivating the threefold contemplation in one mind to enter the stage of the ten faiths, having exhausted the delusions within the realms, one subdues ignorance beyond the realms; at the initial mind of the ten abodes one generates true wisdom and severs the first grade of the entrenchment of ignorance; from this point through the forty minds, one constantly severs ignorance, until at the final mind of equal enlightenment ignorance is completely exhausted; the ultimate stage of wondrous enlightenment is serene and transcendent beyond all defilements, called ultimate bodhi, unexcelled nirvāṇa. This is the distinction in determining the heights of the stages; hence there are differences in clarifying stages between the two teachings, perfect and distinctive.
