Japanese: 「勝鬘経（しょうまんきょう）」や「大日経（だいにちきょう）」を出典とする。
English: According to 'Shoman-gyo', it is stated as follows: While shakubuku is to crush and force a person to submit his own misunderstanding by torture, shoju is to accept one's misunderstanding and then calmly correct it.

Japanese: 吉蔵は、「勝鬘宝窟（しょうまんほうくつ）」で、「強情は伏すべし。伏して悪を離れしむべし。柔軟（にゅうなん）は摂すべし。摂して善に住せしむ。故に摂受・折伏と名づくなり」と注釈した。
English: Nichiren judged Japan of his days to be Hobo (abbreviation of Hiboshobo - Slander of the True Dharma, meaning to slander the true teaching).
Japanese: 日蓮は、当時の日本国を謗法（ぼうほう、誹謗正法＝ひぼうしょうぼうの略語で正しい法をそしること）と定めた。
English: In his Kaimoku-sho (On the opening of the eyes, one of Nichiren's most important doctrinal treatises), he decided 'When the bad and the ignorant fill the land, put shoju first, like Anrakugyohon (Peaceful Practices, the fourteenth chapter of the Lotus Sutra). When the wrong and the malicious are so many, put shakubuku first, like Jofukyobon' ((Bodhisattva) Never Disparaging, the twentieth chapter of the Lotus Sutra).
Japanese: 開目抄で「無智悪人の国土に充満の時は摂受を前（さき）とす、安楽行品（あんらくぎょうぼん）の如し。邪智謗法の者多き時は折伏を前とす、常不軽品（じょうふきょうぼん）の如し」と定めた。
English: Nichiren exemplified shakubuku by Jofukyobon in Hokekyo (Lotus Sutra) because he referenced Hokke Monku (Words and Phrases of the Lotus Sutra) written by Chigi (or Zhiyi) in the Tendai sect.
Japanese: 日蓮が、法華経の常不軽品をもって折伏の例を出したのは、天台宗の智顗の「法華文句（ほっけもんく）」によったものである。
English: Nichiren used Jofukyo bosatsu as an example because Jofukyo bosatsu which appeared in Hokke Monku prayed for people with his whole heart without disdaining them even if he was slandered by them.
Japanese: そこに登場する常不軽菩薩が人々から誹謗中傷されても、常不軽菩薩自身は人々を軽んぜず、一心に礼拝したことである。
English: It is a commonly held misconception in Japan, and taken for granted in some religious bodies of the Hokke Sect line, that shakubuku is forcible missionary work for converting people.
Japanese: 今日の一般的な認識においても、また一部の法華系教団においても折伏がいわゆる人々への強引な布教活動だと誤解される向きがある。
English: He said that the real shakubuku was to devote oneself to seeking truth (the true teachings of Buddha) and logically teaching truth to people even if one is slandered and persecuted by them like Jofukyo bosatsu was.
Japanese: 常不軽菩薩のように人々から誹謗中傷されて迫害を受けても、ひたすら正しい真理（正法）を求め、また理路整然と伝えていくことが真の折伏である、ということを表している。
English: In 'Sho-hokke-daimoku-sho' (On Chanting the Daimoku of the Lotus Sutra) and the like, Nichiren explained that the letter '慈' in 慈悲 (compassion) means fatherly love which is shakubuku, and the letter '悲' means maternal love which is shoju.
Japanese: また日蓮は「唱法華題目鈔」などに、慈悲の「慈」を父の愛として、それが折伏であり、「悲」を母の愛として、それを摂受であるとした。
English: With such descriptions, he implied that shoju backs up shakubuku, and shakubuku backs up shoju.
Japanese: そのことから、摂受の裏に折伏があり、反対に折伏の裏に摂受があることを示唆した。
English: Therefore, as it was quite appropriately described by Nichiren, that both shoju and shakubuku are important means for leading people to the true teaching of Buddhism, although the terms appear to be different but they were united in Kedo-ho (means of enlightening and leading people to goodness) and they cannot exist separately.
Japanese: 従って、日蓮がいみじくも指摘したように、摂受も折伏も異なるように見えるが、仏の正しい法へと導くための大事な手だてであり、どちらも離れて存在し得ない化導法である。
English: According to homon (the teachings of Buddhism) of Funi sokuitsu (non-duality) under Buddhist law, it can be said that shoju is nothing but shakubuku, and shakubuku is nothing but shoju.
Japanese: つまり仏法においては不二即一の法門から、摂受即折伏、折伏即摂受ということができる。
English: Zokumyojyuho means treasured heirloom to atone life and indicates the teachings in "Nehan-gyo Sutra" (The Sutra of The Great Nirvana) defined by Tendai Daishi Chigi.
Japanese: 贖命重宝とは、命を贖（あがな）う重宝の意で、天台大師・智顗が定めた『涅槃経』の教えを指す。
English: Chigi divided teachings of Shakyamuni in his lifetime into Eight teachings including zo, tsu, betsu, and en, and defined that en is the most excellent teaching among all.
Japanese: これは智顗が、釈迦の一代の教説を、蔵・通・別・円の八教に分け、その中で円が最も優れた教えであると定めた。
English: Therefore, bussho josho (one of the Buddhist teaching about the status of reaching the Nirvana and its eternity) (en teaching) is just a repetition of en teaching that is the life of Hoke-kyo Sutra, so Nehan-gyo Sutra is the same as the former three Sutra (zo, tsu, betsu teachings that were preached before Hoke-kyo Sutra, that is, Kegon-kyo Sutra, Agon-kyo Sutra, Hodo-kyo Sutra, Hannya-kyo Sutra, and only that is what you should learn.
Japanese: したがって涅槃経の仏性常住（円教）は、法華経の命である円教を重ねて説いただけであるから、涅槃経は前三経（法華経以前に説かれた蔵・通・別の教え、つまり華厳・阿含・報道・般若の各経説）と同じで、それだけが得る部分である。
English: Sutras of Nehan-gyo can be summarized as 'Nehan-gyo is a secret that Nyorai (Tathagata) possesses and is not preached in teachings before Nehan-gyo.
Japanese: 涅槃経の経文を要約すると、「涅槃経は如来が蔵している秘密であり、涅槃経以前の教説には説いていないものである。
English: Possessing it is like having treasure to atone life by giving it to robbers or bad guys who come and want to kill you, so if bad Biku (Buddhist priests) emerge in the future and preach "Shakanyorai, Shikyajirai died, entered Nirvana, and no long exists in this world," then you should deliver this secret Nehan-gyo.
Japanese: これを蔵するのは、もし今後、賊や悪王が来て命を奪おうとしたら、蔵している宝を差し出してその命を贖うのと同じで、未来に悪い比丘（坊主・僧侶）が現れて『釈迦如来は入滅して涅槃に入ってもうこの世にはいない』と説いた場合に、この秘密の蔵である涅槃経を演説すべきである。
English: If this Nehan-gyo does not emerge, the Buddhist law will disappear,' this is the original intention of the sutras.
Japanese: もしこの涅槃経が現れなかった時は、仏法は滅する」というのが、経文上の本来の意図である。
English: Therefore, strictly speaking, this sutra does not describe that Nehan-gyo is a treasure and Hoke-kyo is a life.
Japanese: したがって厳密にいえば、この経文には涅槃経が宝であり、法華経が命であるなどとは書かれていない。
English: Therefore, it is said that Chigi determined that Hoke-kyo is superior to Nehan-gyo and interpreted the sutras of Nehan-gyo.
Japanese: したがってあくまでも智顗が、法華経を涅槃経より優位と判断して、この涅槃経の経文を解釈したものとされる。
English: In the period when Chigi was active and Tendai-shu sect prospered, the Nehan Sect that has its basis on Nehan-gyo became only a school sect and was impractical.
Japanese: 智顗が活躍し天台宗が興隆した当時は、涅槃経を所依とする涅槃宗は単なる学派となり実践力が薄れていた。
English: Therefore, they did not have power to hold out against Chigi who made out these interpretation at full blast because he was excellent in both learning of religious doctrines and practice, and the Nehan Sect was taken over.
Japanese: 智顗が教学と実践を兼ね備えており、これらの解釈を盛んに主張したことに対抗できず、涅槃宗は吸収合併されるに至った。
English: However, in recent Buddhist Studies, some people point out that these were forceful interpretation (dogma) by Chigi.
Japanese: しかし近年の仏教学においては、これらは智顗による強引な解釈（ドグマ）であったという指摘もある。
English: The expression "tsuisetsu tsuimin" (literally meaning "re-exposition and re-effacement") is a Japanese Buddhist term that refers to an interpretation given to "the Nirvana Sutra" from the perspective (represented by the Tendai sect and Nichiren sect of Buddhism) that regards the Lotus Sutra as the fundamental sutra that brings salvation to the whole world.
Japanese: 追説追泯（ついせつついみん）とは、仏教において、天台宗や日蓮宗などの法華経一乗の立場から、『大般涅槃経』を指した語をいう。
English: The term literally means to explain teachings once again and to eliminate differences in views.
Japanese: 意味は、一度終った説法をさらに立ち戻って説いて、またさらに融泯（ゆうみん）すること。
English: This view interprets the Nirvana Sutra as 'tsuisetsu' (a re-exposition of the Lotus Sutra sermons), which Buddha gave to people who failed to attend these sermons (or failed to understand their meaning) based upon his Lotus Sutra sermons along with his other previous sermons on temporary truths contained in various Hinayana and Mahayana Buddhist sutras, such as Kegon (Flower Garland), Agon (Agama), Hodo (Expansion) and Hannya (Wisdom).
Japanese: 「追説」とは、『法華経』の会座にいなかった（漏れて覚れなかった）人たちのために、華厳・阿含・方等・般若の小大乗の方便の教えを、『法華経』の意義を含みつつも、さらにもう一度方便の教えを説くことをいう。
English: The view also interprets Buddha's sermons in "the Nirvana Sutra," which were preached after his "Lotus Sutra" sermons, as not simply representing his teachings on temporary truths, but his teachings on eternal truths, which were taught based on his "Lotus Sutra" sermons in order to eliminate differences ('tsuimin').
Japanese: 「追泯」とは、『涅槃経』は『法華経』を説いた後なので、ただ方便教を説いただけではなく、『法華経』の意義をもって真実の仏性常住を説いた。
English: Thus, according to this interpretation, it refers that the Buddha's teachings in the Nirvana Sutra were taught to eliminate the distinction between different views about his teachings and the distinction between temporary and eternal truths.
Japanese: これは追って説いたものを、また追ってその大小乗の教えや方便と真実という差別を泯（ほろぼ）すことをいう。
English: The Tendai sect of Buddhism groups teachings given by Buddha during his lifetime into 'Keho-no-shikyo' (Shakyamuni's four kinds of teaching of the content of the Truth accommodated to the capacity of his disciples) named 'zo, tsu, betsu, and en' (Tripitaka, common, distinct, and perfect).
Japanese: 天台宗における教学では、釈迦一代の教説（経典）を、「蔵・通・別・円」と「化法の四教」に分ける。
English: Buddha had completed his teachings in the first three of these categories, zo, tsu and to, before his "Lotus Sutra" sermons, in which he explained the ultimate truth that he had finally grasped the teaching of en.
Japanese: 蔵・通・別の前三教は、すでに『法華経』までの経典で説いた、そして『法華経』で円教を開会（かいえ）し説き終ったとする。
English: And in sermons contained in "the Nirvana Sutra," Buddha explained the four categories of teachings that he had already preached, once again for the masses who were not yet ready (or not enlightened enough) to attain religious salvation.
Japanese: しかし、なお機根の熟していない（あるいは低い）衆生の為に、さらにこれらの四教を『涅槃経』で説いたとする。
English: According to this interpretation, "the Nirvana Sutra" is no more than another version of Buddha's previous teachings revealed in "the Lotus Sutra" sermons, made particularly for the unenlightened masses.
Japanese: したがって『涅槃経』は『法華経』で既に述べた教説を機根の低い衆生に重ねて説いただけにすぎない、とされる。
English: Buddha's entire thought, which gradually grew from its origin and was preached to the world on various occasions in various different ways, is revealed in this sutra in the most comprehensive form.
Japanese: 元本より迹を垂るる、処処に開引し中間に相ひ値て数数成熟し、今世には五味に節節に調伏し、収羅結撮して法華に帰会す。
