仁王經疏 3.9

3.9

Exposition: The second section from here onward explains the method of protection. Within this there are three parts: first, inviting the fields of merit; next, clarifying offerings; finally, revealing the time of teaching. Within the fields of merit, the text has three parts: first, the fields of merit of the noble ones; second, the audience at the lecture assembly; third, inviting masters to lecture and expound. This is the first. The actual physical bodies of the above three honored ones are difficult to assemble; in order to ensure that the field of merit is fully complete for future generations, one sets up a hundred images.
