四教義 6.4

6.4

二明隨法行位者，即是利根人入見道之名也。言利根者，自以智薰，見理斷結，故云利也。本在方便道中，能自用觀智觀四真諦法，但未發真，不名為行。因世間第一法發苦忍真明，十五剎那進趣見真，故名法行也。分別法行，類前信行解釋可知。但鈍根憑他生解、自智少觀察，利根自智多觀察為異耳。

Second, explaining the stage of those who follow through the Dharma: this is the designation for sharp-rooted persons entering the path of seeing. What is called 'sharp-rooted' means that perfumed by their own wisdom, they see principle and cut off fetters; hence they are called sharp. Originally within the path of expedients, they were able to use their own contemplative wisdom to contemplate the dharma of the four true truths, but because they had not yet generated truth, it was not called 'following'. Due to the highest mundane dharmas generating the true clarity of patience regarding suffering, progressing through fifteen instants to see the truth, they are called 'those who follow through the Dharma'. Distinguishing the followers through the Dharma is explained by analogy with the previous followers through faith and can be understood. The only difference is that the dull-rooted rely on others to generate understanding and have little contemplation by their own wisdom, whereas the sharp-rooted have much contemplation by their own wisdom.
