妙法蓮華經卷＊第二 ＊後秦龜茲國三藏法師鳩摩羅什奉 詔譯 T09n0262_002_0013b[0013b04] 「舍利弗！如彼長者，雖復身手有力而不用之，但以慇懃方便勉濟諸子火宅之難，然後各與珍寶大車。如來亦復如是，雖有力、無所畏而不用之，但以智慧方便，於三界火宅拔濟眾生，為說三乘——聲聞、辟支佛、佛乘，而作是言：『汝等莫得樂住三界火宅，勿貪麁弊色聲香味觸也。若貪著生愛，則為所燒。汝速出三界，當得三乘——聲聞、辟支佛、佛乘。我今為汝保任此事，終不虛也。汝等但當勤修精進。』如來以是方便誘進眾生，復作是言：『汝等當知此三乘法，皆是聖所稱歎，自在無繫，無所依求。乘是三乘，以無漏根、力、覺、道、禪定、解脫、三昧等而自娛樂，便得無量安隱快樂。』
