四明尊者教行錄 2.58

2.58

十一問：理性若無消伏義者，約教行理，別釋此題。教行名經，有消伏義，約理名經，必可全廢耶？若可廢者，何名別釋題中理經耶？若不可廢，那忽簡云毒義雖成，消義全闕耶？

Question 11: If the nature of principle has no sense of eradication and subduing, then when explaining this title separately in terms of teaching, practice, and principle: teaching and practice are called 'sūtra' and possess the sense of eradication and subduing; but when called 'sūtra' in terms of principle, must it be completely discarded? If it can be discarded, why is it called separately explaining the theoretical sūtra within the title? If it cannot be discarded, why do you suddenly screen it out by saying, 'Although the sense of poison is established, the sense of eradication is completely lacking'?
