四明尊者教行錄 4.95

4.95

答：《華嚴》談別圓，不說藏通，二乘在座如聾若瘂。既不入二乘人手，不能革凡成聖，但全生如乳。遂游化鹿苑，施設漸權，於茲獲益，革外道之邪計，證無漏之涅槃。次方等彈偏中，《般若》洮汰，來至《法華》大顯一實。此是《法華》之聲聞也，是則不二而二。身子今昔不同，二而不二。只是一身，元無兩人也。

Answer: The Avataṃsaka expounds the distinct and perfect [teachings] and does not preach the Tripiṭaka and shared [teachings], so the [practitioners of the] two vehicles present in the assembly were as if deaf and mute. Since it was not received into the hands of the practitioners of the two vehicles, it could not transform the ordinary into the noble; it was entirely raw, like milk. Thereupon, traveling and converting at the Deer Park, [the Buddha] instituted the gradual and provisional, and therein they attained benefit, transformed the false reckonings of heterodox paths, and realized unoutflowing nirvāṇa. Next, during the reprimand of partiality in the Vaipulya and the purification in the Prajñā, leading up to the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka, the one reality was grandly revealed. These are the śrāvakas of the Saddharmapuṇḍarīka; thus they are non-dual and yet dual. Śāriputra past and present is not the same, being dual and yet non-dual. It is merely one person, fundamentally not two individuals.
