四明十義書 1.128

1.128

此則何但色不具三千，生佛亦不具三千。予曾細詳彼釋三法妙義，理實如此，非相枉抑。須知救於可救之義，捨短從長，人情無益。

In this case, not only does form not possess the three thousand, but living beings and Buddhas also do not possess the three thousand. I have closely examined his explanation of the marvelous meaning of the three dharmas; in principle it is truly like this, and I am not wrongly misrepresenting him. One must know to rescue what can be rescued in the doctrine, discarding the deficient to follow what is superior; human personal sentiments are of no benefit.
