大乘起信論略述 2.34

2.34

論。此緣有二種至遠得度故　述曰。次下別開。於中有二。先開近遠。後開解行。初也。即為根熟易可度者。而作近緣。為根未熟難可度者而作遠緣。故說佛等普皆攝益。

[Treatise:] These conditions are of two kinds […] being delivered from afar.
[Exposition:] Next below, they are differentiated and unfolded. In this there are two parts: first, unfolding proximate and distant; next, unfolding understanding and practice. This is the first. That is, for those whose faculties are mature and easily delivered, they serve as proximate conditions; for those whose faculties are not yet mature and difficult to deliver, they serve as distant conditions. Therefore, it is said that the buddhas and others universally gather and benefit them.
