仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 1.149

1.149

解曰：將說經前，故光召集，如秋滿月暉映眾星，如夏日輪先奪諸色，當根變現二眾咸臻，三業至誠稽首禮足，一心瞻仰默然退坐。從此第二明發起序。文為二：初說經瑞相、後現花召眾。初中分三：一現諸瑞相、二大眾驚疑、三作樂供養。就初瑞相，文復分四。且初第一如來入定。其義者何？

The commentary explains: Just before the sūtra was to be spoken, radiance was emitted to summon and assemble them, like the autumn full moon outshining the host of stars, or the summer sun-disc eclipsing all colours beforehand; both assemblies—those corresponding to the capacities and the transformationally manifested ones—all arrived, with supreme sincerity in their three karmas bowing their heads and paying homage to his feet, single-mindedly gazing up and silently retiring to sit down. From here, the second part explains the initiating preface. The text has two parts: first, the auspicious signs of preaching the sūtra; second, manifesting flowers to summon the assembly. The first part is divided into three: first, manifesting the auspicious signs; second, the surprise and doubt of the great assembly; third, making music and offerings. Concerning the first auspicious signs, the text is again divided into four. First, the Tathāgata enters samādhi. What is its meaning?
