佛祖統紀 29.16

29.16

鎧菴之評謂。法界觀別為一緣。謂五教無斷伏分齊。然則若教若觀。徒張虛文。應無修證之道。至若清涼之立頓頓。浪言超勝法華（觀師判華嚴為頓頓。以天台判兼別。失如來意。又謂。華嚴是菩薩請超勝於法華也）。

The critique of Kaian states: The Contemplation of the Dharmadhātu constitutes an independent cause, maintaining that the five teachings have no stages of cutting off and subduing [afflictions]. If that were so, whether teaching or contemplation, they would merely display empty words, and there would be no path of cultivation and realization. As for Qingliang establishing the 'sudden-sudden', he recklessly claimed that it surpasses the Lotus Sūtra. (Master Chengguan classified the Avataṃsaka as 'sudden-sudden' and held Tiantai's classification of it as 'combining the distinct' to be a failure to capture the Tathāgata's intent. He also maintained that because the Avataṃsaka was requested by bodhisattvas, it surpasses the Lotus Sūtra.)
