6.21

論曰。其入不同其為必異。各成其性不易其事。又曰。或照五典。或布三乘。在華而華言。化夷而夷語。又曰。佛道齊乎達化而有夷夏之別。

The treatise says: 'Their entrances differ, and their workings must be distinct; each fulfills its nature without altering its functions.' It also says: 'At times it illuminates the Five Classics, at times it spreads the Three Vehicles; in China it uses Chinese speech, transforming the barbarians it uses barbarian tongues.' It also says: 'The Buddha and the Dao are equal in penetrating transformation, yet there is a distinction between the barbarians and the Chinese.'
