漸教

漸教
(漸教, 渐教)
The gradual method of teaching by beginning with the Hīnayāna and proceeding to the Mahāyāna, in contrast with [lang id =1028]頓教 q.v. the immediate teaching of the Mahāyāna doctrine, or of any truth directly; e.g. the Huayan school considers the <Huayan sūtra> as the immediate or direct teaching, and the <Lotus Sūtra> as both gradual and direct; Tiantai considers the Lotus direct and complete; but there are other definitions.

◆漸教者, 謂約漸悟之機, 大由小起, 所設具有三乘之教也。 (三乘者, 聲聞乘、 緣覺乘、 菩薩乘也。 ) ◆謂始自鹿苑, 終於雙樹, 所說之經, 從小至大, 故名漸教。 ◆謂佛說法, 始自鹿苑, 終至雙樹, 從小至大, 是名漸教。 ◆漸即漸次, 有漸初、 漸中、 漸末之不同, 謂如來初於鹿苑, 破斥邪法, 建立正教, 專為二乘, 此名漸初, 即阿含經也。 次於方等會上, 彈斥二乘小機, 令其歸向大法, 此名漸中, 即淨名等經也。 後於般若會上, 廣談空慧之法, 淘汰二乘執小之情, 會一切法皆歸大乘, 此名漸末, 即般若經也。 如是自淺至深, 次第而進, 故名漸教。 (二乘者, 聲聞乘、 緣覺乘也。 )

由淺入深的教法, 如先說小乘然後才說大乘是。
