夫三諦者。天然之性德也。中諦者。統一切法。真諦者。泯一切法。俗諦者。立一切法。舉一即三。非前後也。含生本具。非造作之所得也。悲夫。祕藏不顯。蓋三惑之所覆也。故無明翳乎法性。塵沙障乎化導。見思阻乎空寂。然茲三惑。乃體上之虛妄也。於是大覺慈尊。喟然歎曰。真如界內。絕生佛之假名。平等慧中。無自他之形相。但以眾生妄想。不自證得。莫之能返也。由是。立乎三觀。破乎三惑。證乎三智。成乎三德。空觀宗者。破見思惑。證一切智。成般若德。假觀宗者。破塵沙惑。證道種智。成解脫德。中觀宗者。破無明惑。證一切種智。成法身德。然茲三惑三觀三智三德。非各別也。非異時也。天然之理。具諸法故。然此三諦之宗。性德之自爾。迷兹三諦之宗旨。轉成三惑。惑破籍乎三觀之風智。教觀成則即證於三智之宗旨。三智則即開乎三德之異門。妙哉。從因至果。非漸修也。說之次第。理非次第。大綱如此。網目可尋矣。可驚之法皇音永絕。而鷲峰山暮嵐獨吟。可照慈尊月未出。而鷄頭城曉空猶遙。生佛前佛後之中間。無出離解脫之因緣。住粟散扶桑之小國。闕上求下化之修行。雖爾。宋元迨明。台教暨法相三論之義學已失中華。況至今清朝。禪教屢盛。而講經者。專主禪意論之矣。假饒雖入唐渡天。難解教相疑條乎。教黌之興盛於吾本朝。雖中華之大德。有未明之者。如佛祖統紀。及唐決疑集所載。嗚呼八相成道之昔。獨雖漏如來之出世。三千餘季之今。僅得聞慈父遺誡。寶聚之山際。不望自入也。貧匱之家中。不取後悔乎。難受易移人身。難值希得佛法。當以何行業。為今生思出。默止於此者。盍失大利哉。況一入惡趣已。曠劫為難出。設亦受人身。值佛法最難。早拋萬事當勵一心。實非此度者。始而企何時哉。然則始自今日盡未來際。苟以我身命。恭拋佛法僧。以求佛道。以利有情。因之或結草菴於山林寂漠之霞。暫為今生遊宴之栖。或捧一鉢於聚落憒閙之煙。永萠一佛淨土之緣所以。和光同塵之本願結緣始其何。所謂道心是也。世間淺近益。皆為此方便也。仰願三寶神祇。哀愍愚意。令發道心。一要若成就。萬事皆可足而已。於是佛陀勸我等。八萬四千法門。寧又非彼岸直至之指南乎。去來別離無常恩愛。而不退聖眾為友。不忘堅固之契約。而盡未來際為限。恆為親友。互助佛道。鎮為法器。同營善事。諸宗門戶敲之。集於宗要三。一者空宗。二者假宗。三者中宗。金錍云。天台大師。是余師也。三諦三觀。所承法也。所以以五時八教。判釋本朝諸宗聖教。罄無不盡。言五時者。一華嚴時。二鹿苑時。謂說四阿含。三方等時。謂說維摩。思益。楞伽。楞嚴三昧。金光明。勝鬘等經。四般若時。謂說摩訶般若。光讚般若。金剛般若。大品般若等。諸般若經。五法華涅槃時。是為五時。亦名五味。言八教者。頓。漸。祕密。不定。藏。通。別。圓。是名八教。頓等四教是化儀。如世藥方。藏等四教名化法。如辨藥味。如是等義。散在廣文。今依大本。略錄綱要。

The Compendium of Essential Teachings of Various Sects in Our Dynasty was composed by the Tendai monk Gikan in the late Heian period of Japan. This work systematically organizes the doctrinal outlines and lineage histories of major Buddhist sects from the Nara to Heian periods, such as Tendai, Shingon, and Hossō, reflecting the process of localization in Japanese Buddhism after its assimilation of Chinese Buddhism. As a comprehensive masterpiece of early Japanese Buddhist sectarian studies, it provides crucial documentary foundations for research into Japanese Buddhist history, holding exceptionally high historical value and religious significance.
