【阿含】正云阿笈多，此云教。妙樂云：「此云無比法，即言教也。」《唯識論》云：「謂諸如來所說之教。」《長阿含》序云：「阿含者，秦言法歸，所謂萬法之淵府，總持之林苑也。」《法華論》解其智慧門，為說阿含義甚深。涉法師云：「阿含，此云傳所說義。是則大小二教，通號阿含。而小乘中別開四部：謂《增一阿含》，明人天因果；二、《長阿含》，破邪見；三、《中阿含》，明諸深義；四、《雜阿含》，明諸禪法。以四阿含為轉法輪設教之首，別得其名。嵩《輔教編》，由昧通別，猶豫不決，其詞則枝。」

> \[Āgama\] Correctly called āgata, here translated as "teaching." Miaole says: "This translates as incomparable Dharma, which is to say, spoken teaching." The Vijñaptimātratāsiddhi Śāstra says: "It refers to the teachings spoken by the Tathāgatas." The preface to the Dīrgha Āgama says: "Āgama, in the language of Qin, means 'refuge of dharmas', the so-called deep storehouse of the myriad dharmas, the garden grove of dhāraṇī." The Treatise on the Lotus Sūtra interprets its gate of wisdom, stating that the meaning of the Āgamas expounded is extremely profound. Dharma Master She says: "Āgama translates here as 'transmitting the expounded meaning'. Thus both the great and small teachings are universally called Āgama. Yet within the Hinayana, it is specifically divided into four collections: first, the Ekottara Āgama, which clarifies the causes and effects of humans and devas; second, the Dīrgha Āgama, which refutes wrong views; third, the Madhyama Āgama, which clarifies various profound meanings; fourth, the Saṃyukta Āgama, which clarifies various methods of dhyāna. Because the four Āgamas are the foremost of the teachings set forth in the turning of the wheel of the Dharma, they uniquely receive this name. Song's Fujiaobian, through failing to understand the general and the specific, was hesitant and indecisive, and his words branched off."
