四教義 2.11

2.11

三明對經論。《華嚴》但詮假名俗諦中道，或云華嚴教詮別相三諦、一心三諦；三藏漸教詮真俗二諦；方等大乘之教詮三諦，一往同《華嚴》；《摩訶般若》亦具詮三諦，一往同《華嚴》；《法華》但詮一心三諦；《涅槃》備詮三諦，一往亦同《華嚴》也。諸論隨經，類之可知。《中論》偈云：「因緣所生法，我說即是空」，此即詮真諦。「亦名為假名」，即詮俗諦也。「亦是中道義」，即詮中道第一義也。此偈即是申摩訶衍詮三諦之理。若下兩品明聲聞經入第一義，此即是別申三藏教詮二諦之理。

Third, referencing the sūtras and treatises: The *Avataṃsaka* only elucidates provisional-name conventional truth and the middle way; or it is said that the Avataṃsaka teaching elucidates the three truths of distinct marks and the three truths in one mind. The gradual teaching of the Tripiṭaka elucidates the two truths, ultimate and conventional. The teachings of the Vaipulya Mahāyāna elucidate the three truths, broadly the same as the *Avataṃsaka*. The *Mahāprajñā[pāramitā]* also fully elucidates the three truths, broadly the same as the *Avataṃsaka*. The *Lotus [Sūtra]* only elucidates the three truths in one mind. The *Nirvāṇa [Sūtra]* fully elucidates the three truths, broadly also the same as the *Avataṃsaka*. The treatises follow the sūtras, and by analogy can be known. The verse in the *Mūlamadhyamakakārikā* states: "Dharmas that arise from causes and conditions, / I explain as being identical to emptiness"—this elucidates the ultimate truth; "and also called provisional names"—this elucidates the conventional truth; "and also the meaning of the middle way"—this elucidates the middle way paramārtha[-satya]. This verse thus sets forth the principle of the three truths elucidated in the Mahāyāna. As for the subsequent two chapters that clarify the śrāvaka sūtras entering the paramārtha, these distinctly set forth the principle of the two truths elucidated in the Tripiṭaka teaching.
