仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.621

2.621

解曰：此下經文近明二諦，遠結上也。如前長科，〈觀如來品〉初九行經為總標問；從佛告下至此上結為問答也；此下至終即是第三總結上文明前理事。文有遠近，義含通為，讀者悉矣。真性是一者，標所證理，真如法性體是一也。言有情者，通諸聖凡一切有情也。言品類者，聖中三乘、凡中六趣也。且如人中種類無數，況餘界趣詎可測乎？言根行者，根有三種：上中下根。行有頓漸利鈍等異。言無量者，通上四類：一者有情、二者品類、三根、四行，從寬向狹悉皆無量，標其多也。法門為一為無量者，發二問也。如來所說般若之法，為如真性法門是一、為如有情法門無量耶？從此第二如來總答。

Explanation: The sūtra text below immediately clarifies the two truths, and distantly concludes what precedes. As in the earlier extended outline, the first nine lines of sūtra text in the 'Chapter on Contemplating the Tathāgata' served as the general presentation of the question; from 'The Buddha told' down to this point above concluded the question and answer; from here to the end is the third part, which generally concludes the text above and clarifies the preceding principle and phenomena. The text has proximal and distal relations, and the meaning encompasses both general and specific; the reader will understand it. "The true nature is one" designates the principle realized; the substance of the suchness of dharmatā is one. "Sentient beings" encompasses all sentient beings, both noble and ordinary. "Types" refers to the three vehicles among the noble, and the six destinies among the ordinary. Considering humans alone, their categories are countless; how much less could the other realms and destinies be measured? "Faculties and practices": there are three kinds of faculties: superior, middling, and inferior. Practices have variations such as sudden, gradual, sharp, and dull. "Immeasurable" applies to the four categories above: first, sentient beings; second, types; third, faculties; fourth, practices. From the broad to the narrow, all are immeasurable, designating their multiplicity. "Are the Dharma gates one, or are they immeasurable?" raises two questions: Is the Dharma of prajñā expounded by the Tathāgata one Dharma gate, like the true nature, or are the Dharma gates immeasurable, like sentient beings? Next, the second section is the Tathāgata's general answer.
