英文时分:《永恒的甘露》--《妙法莲华经—普门品》讲记（十五） 传喜法师宣讲
佛陀讲的法, 按天台宗的判教分为四个阶段: 先是讲阿含部, 之后讲方等部, 再讲般若部, 最后讲法华涅槃。
般若讲空性, 我们凡夫看也看不到, 摸也摸不到,但是这是诸法实相, 是一切诸佛如来的身体, 悟了般若的人都可以入真正的三昧。
中道就是胜谛和俗谛不二。慧能大师一个字不识, 悟得了佛的心谛, 就知道 “烦恼即菩提”, 祂达到了这个境界。 佛讲般若讲了二十四年,大家都已经菩提成熟了, 这时候佛就开权显实, 讲大乘《妙法莲华经》, 讲了佛自己真正的受用。
《妙法莲华经》是诸佛的果地, 是佛菩萨倒驾慈航的方便。般若重在智慧上, 只有在了达了智慧体的基础上才能说方便, 所以智慧成熟了才讲方便, 只有佛才能讲方便。 
Eternal （Lecture on the Guan Yin Bodhisattva Universal Door）（15）
By Master Chuanxi
The teachings of the Buddha can be divided into four stages by the Tiantai School of Chinese Buddhism: the Agama stage, the Vaipula stage, the Prajna stage and the last Lotus / Nirvana stage.
Prajna involves the teaching of emptiness, which is something that ordinary people cannot see or touch. However, it is the true reality of Dharma and the body of allBuddhas. Anyone who is enlightened with Prajna can enter into the real Samadhi.
The Middle Way means the identity of Paramartha-satya (the ultimate truth) and Samvriti-satya(the conventional truth). Although Master Hui Neng was illiterate, he attained enlightenment and understood the Buddha’s mind, knowing that affliction is bodhi. The Master had reached such a level of enlightenment. Since the Buddha had taught prajna for twenty-four years, the capacities of most disciples were matured by this time. This was the time when the Buddha preached the Lotus Sutraand unveiled how He benefited from enlightenment.
The Lotus Sutra is the fruit of all Buddhas which indicates the expedient means of Buddha and Bodhisattva to help beings compassionately. The emphasis of prajna is wisdom and the preaching of expedient means is based on the realisation of the nature of wisdom.Therefore, only when such level of maturity was attained, the preaching of expedient means could begin, and the only person who could do this was the Buddha.
