四教義 8.18

8.18

十佛地者，大功德力資智慧，一念相應慧觀真諦，習氣究竟盡也。故《智度論》云：「聲聞智慧力弱，如小火燒木，雖燃、猶有炭在。緣覺智慧力勝，如大火燒木，木燃炭盡、餘有灰在。諸佛智慧力大，如劫燒火大，灰炭俱盡。」亦如兔馬象三獸渡河之喻也。問曰：菩薩、佛地名異，二乘何得言通也？答曰：名雖有異，同是無學應供，得二涅槃，共歸灰斷，證果是一，名義不殊，是則名義究竟俱同也。

Tenth, as for the Buddha stage, the power of great merit aids wisdom: with a single thought-moment of corresponding wisdom contemplating true truth, habit-energies are completely and exhaustively extinguished. Therefore the Dà zhìdù lùn says: 'The wisdom-power of śrāvakas is weak, like a small fire burning wood: although it catches fire, charcoal still remains. The wisdom-power of pratyekabuddhas is superior, like a great fire burning wood: the wood burns and the charcoal is consumed, yet ashes remain. The wisdom-power of the Buddhas is immense, like the great fire that burns the kalpa: ashes and charcoal are both utterly consumed.' It is also like the simile of the three animals—the rabbit, the horse, and the elephant—crossing the river. Question: The names of the Bodhisattva and Buddha stages are distinct; how can they be said to be shared with the two vehicles? Answer: Although the names differ, both are equally non-learners worthy of offerings who attain the two nirvāṇas, together returning to ash-and-extinction; their attested fruition is one, and name and meaning are not distinct. Thus name and meaning are ultimately entirely identical.
