仁王護國般若經疏 5.35

5.35

From “Great King, the seven buddhas” onward is the second major section, exhorting to uphold [the sūtra]. The text has two: first, praising the teaching; second, citing the title to exhort upholding. The first has five: first, clarifying that the preaching is the same as that of the seven buddhas, which is understandable. Second, from “You all in the great assembly” onward cites the benefit to exhort upholding. Third, from “How much more so for this” onward clarifies supreme faith. Being able to believe in this sūtra accomplishes the three wisdoms, and thereby surpasses the merit of the ten stages of the shared teaching. Fourth, from “How much more so to accept and uphold” onward clarifies attaining entry. In the first abode of the perfect teaching one becomes a buddha, able to convert sentient beings in a hundred buddha-worlds. Fifth, from “At that time the great assembly” onward clarifies the attainment of benefit. Second, from “Great King, this sūtra” onward cites the title to exhort upholding. The text has two: first, citing the title, which is understandable. Second, from “It is also named All” onward clarifies the function, which can be seen.
