仁王般若經疏 2.76

2.76

"Just as you have understood" means matching its meaning. "Inconceivable" is another name for the correct contemplation of non-attainment. "Immeasurable" means it is not the realm of the lower stages of the two vehicles. "Only a buddha and a buddha" is the second [phrase], citing the Buddha to certify what Moonlight spoke. From "Good sons" onward is the third [part], the extensive endorsement, which has four divisions: first, briefly recounting the fourteen patiences; second, from "Why is this?" onward, extensively recounting the functions of the fourteen patiences; third, from "All sentient beings" onward, adducing emptiness to explain and substantiate it; fourth, concluding with non-attainment of mind. In the first part, briefly recounting the fourteen patiences: "the fourteen prajñās that he has expounded" collectively refers to the previously expounded fourteen patiences as fourteen prajñās; their names differ but their substance is identical. Below, the fourteen are individually clarified. As for the "three patiences": these are the three patiences within the patience of subduing: first, faith; second, cessation; third, firm patience. As for "the superior, middling, and inferior on each stage making thirty patiences": there are two explanations. First, regarding the ten grounds, each has superior, middling, and inferior, making thirty patiences. Second, regarding the patience of subduing, the practice-nature is inferior, the acquired nature is middling, and the path-nature is superior; these three stages each have ten, thus making thirty patiences. The former explanation is correct. "Treasure of all practices" is called the treasure of the cause. "Treasure of all buddhas" is called the treasure of the fruit; describing the accumulation of merits on the stage of buddhahood is called a "treasure." This is the Buddha's patience of perfect enlightenment, which, combined with the preceding thirteen, makes fourteen prajñās. Both cause and fruit equally realize non-attainment, which is called "inconceivable."
