1.92

諦聽下,三明勅聽許說。將欲為說,先誡約時眾諦聽者,即聞慧也。善思念之,即思慧也。如法修行,即修慧也。時波斯匿王下,四散華供養。王言善者,述成如來所說也,順理益物名之為善。大事因緣者,明說波若言窮理寂,即《法華》明一大事因緣也。散華者,欲明虔敬於法,散華供養也。變成寶帳者,表明於佛田內行因雖小感果乃大,喻若小華成寶帳也。蓋諸大眾者,表慈悲普覆也。

From "Listen attentively" downward is the third [part], clarifying ordering them to listen and promising to speak. Intending to speak for them, he first admonished the assembly of that time. "Listen attentively" is wisdom derived from hearing. "Reflect and ponder it well" is wisdom derived from reflection. "Practice in accordance with the Dharma" is wisdom derived from cultivation. From "Then King Prasenajit" downward is the fourth [part], scattering flowers in offering. The king saying "Excellent!" confirms and supports what the Tathāgata said; according with principle and benefiting living beings is called excellent. "The causes and conditions of a great matter" clarifies that expounding prajñā exhausts principle and is tranquil, which is the "causes and conditions of one great matter" clarified in the Lotus Sūtra. Scattering flowers means that, wishing to express devout reverence toward the Dharma, he scattered flowers in offering. Transforming into jeweled canopies symbolizes that although the cause practiced within the Buddha-field is small, the fruit realized is great, likened to small flowers becoming jeweled canopies. "Covering the great assembly" symbolizes loving-kindness and compassion extending universally over all.
