教觀綱宗 1.38

1.38

此教具三乘法，聲聞觀四諦，以苦諦為初門，最利者三生，最鈍者六十劫，得證四果；辟支觀十二因緣，以集諦為初門，最利者四生，最鈍者百劫，不立分果，出有佛世名緣覺，出無佛世名獨覺；菩薩弘誓六度，以道諦為初門，伏惑利生，必經三大阿僧祇劫，頓悟成佛。然此三人，修行證果雖則不同，而同斷見思，同出三界，同證偏真，只行三百由旬，入化城耳。

This teaching contains the dharmas of the three vehicles: Śrāvakas contemplate the four truths, taking the truth of suffering as the initial gateway; the sharpest among them take three lifetimes and the dullest sixty kalpas to attain realization of the four fruits. Pratyekas contemplate the twelve links of dependent origination, taking the truth of accumulation as the initial gateway; the sharpest among them take four lifetimes and the dullest a hundred kalpas; without establishing fractional fruits, those appearing in an era with a Buddha are called condition-enlightened ones, and those appearing in an era without a Buddha are called solitary-enlightened ones. Bodhisattvas take universal vows and practice the six perfections, taking the truth of the path as the initial gateway; subduing delusions and benefiting sentient beings, they must pass through three great asaṃkhyeya kalpas to suddenly awaken and achieve Buddhahood. However, although the cultivation and realized fruits of these three persons differ, they are identical in severing views and thought, identical in escaping the three realms, and identical in realizing the biased real, having merely traveled three hundred yojanas and entered the conjured city.
