3.144

一顯露定教。人相見法共聞。互相知得益定。玄云。如前分別。但約顯露明漸頓五味之相。籤云。通論顯露。俱攝漸頓。二顯露不定教。人相見法共聞。互相知得益不定。玄云。一時一說一念之中。備有不定。此乃顯露不定。三祕密定教。自分二。自有人不相見。法不共聞。互不相知得益定（此座十方對論）自有人相見。法共聞。互不相知得益定（一人多人對論）四祕密不定教。自分二。自有人不相見。法不共聞。互不相知得益不定（此座十方對論）自有人相見。法共聞。互不相知得益不定（一人多人對論）今之祕密及不定二教。但是祕密不定（祕密教）顯露不定（不定教）玄云。今法華是顯露非祕密是漸頓非漸漸是合非不合是醍醐非四味是定非不定。

First, the manifest determinate teaching: people see one another and hear the Dharma together; they mutually know of one another, and their attainment of benefit is determinate. The Miaoxuan states: 'As distinguished before, this merely explains the characteristics of the gradual and sudden five flavors in terms of the manifest.' The Qian states: 'Speaking broadly of the manifest, it subsumes both the gradual and the sudden.' Second, the manifest indeterminate teaching: people see one another and hear the Dharma together; they mutually know of one another, but their attainment of benefit is indeterminate. The Miaoxuan states: 'Within a single time, a single preaching, and a single thought, all indeterminacies are present; this is the manifest indeterminate.' Third, the secret determinate teaching: internally divided into two: there are those who do not see one another, do not hear the Dharma together, do not mutually know of one another, but their attainment of benefit is determinate (explained by contrasting this assembly with the ten directions); and there are those who see one another, hear the Dharma together, do not mutually know of one another, but their attainment of benefit is determinate (explained by contrasting one person with many people). Fourth, the secret indeterminate teaching: internally divided into two: there are those who do not see one another, do not hear the Dharma together, do not mutually know of one another, and their attainment of benefit is indeterminate (explained by contrasting this assembly with the ten directions); and there are those who see one another, hear the Dharma together, do not mutually know of one another, and their attainment of benefit is indeterminate (explained by contrasting one person with many people). The present two teachings of secret and indeterminate are simply secret indeterminate (the secret teaching) and manifest indeterminate (the indeterminate teaching). The Miaoxuan states: 'The present Lotus is manifest and not secret; it is gradual-and-sudden and not gradual-gradual; it is unified and not non-unified; it is clarified butter and not the [other] four flavors; it is determinate and not indeterminate.'
