### 二趨寂教者

> Teaching of the Two Vehicles toward Nirvana

小乘寂滅趨向涅槃。嚴土利他不生喜樂。與淨土大乘之教正反。然無量壽及觀經皆有須陀洹乃至阿羅漢。先德謂。小乘定性不生。若先發大心熏成種子。退心小乘。垂終回小向大則得生。以退大既久。習小功深。彼佛稱習說小。且令證果。然不住小位。還起大心進行彌速。或五劫或十劫得成初地。如是階級猶是殊勝。是故不同。

> The Small Vehicle (Hinayana) seeks cessation and moves toward nirvana. It finds no delight in adorning the pure land or benefiting others—this is the opposite of the Mahayana Pure Land teachings. However, both the \*Sutra of Immeasurable Life\* and the \*Contemplation Sutra\* mention beings from the level of stream-enterer up to arhat. Ancient teachers explained that those who are fixed in the Small Vehicle nature do not arise \[in the Pure Land\]. But if a person first aroused the great mind \[of bodhicitta\], thereby planting seeds, then later retreated to the Small Vehicle, and finally, at the end of life, turned back from the small to the great, they may be reborn \[in the Pure Land\]. Because such a person has long abandoned the great and deeply cultivated the small, the Buddha, accommodating their conditioning, teaches them the Small Vehicle and allows them to realize its fruits. Yet they do not dwell in the lesser stages—they soon revive the great mind and progress even more swiftly. In five or ten kalpas, they can attain the first stage \[of a bodhisattva\]. Such a path, though gradual, is still extraordinary. Therefore, it differs \[from the typical Small Vehicle path\].
