仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 3.113

3.113

將解此品，辨來意者，護國之法其唯般若，內護修證亦唯般若，般若威德無以測量，寄事以明轉益深敬，故因散花見佛聞法，得覩希有神變難思，以事表經，即來意也。次釋品名。不思議者，諸佛功德神變妙用，心言不測，云不思議。故《法花》云「非口所宣、非心所測」，《智度論》云「心行處滅、言語道斷」，《大般若》云「心言路絕」，此等皆釋不思議也。古就散花以彰品號，此覩神變名不思議，各依一義亦不相違。釋本文者，文分三段：一大眾散花、二佛現神變、三聞法獲益。初散花中，文分為三：初大眾歡喜、次散花供養、後王等發願。且初第一大眾歡喜。其義者何？

In about to explain this chapter, to clarify its purpose: the method of protecting the state is solely prajñā, and the cultivation and realization of internal protection is also solely prajñā; the awe-inspiring virtue of prajñā cannot be measured, and relying on events to clarify it increases deep reverence; therefore, through scattering flowers, seeing the Buddha, and hearing the Dharma, one is able to witness rare, divine transformations that are difficult to conceive; using events to express the sūtra is precisely its purpose. Next is the explanation of the chapter's title. "Inconceivable": the subtle functions of the merits and divine transformations of all buddhas cannot be measured by mind or words, so they are called "inconceivable." Therefore the *Lotus Sūtra* says, "not to be proclaimed by the mouth, not to be measured by the mind"; the *Mahāprajñāpāramitopadeśa* says, "the place of the mind's activity is extinguished, the path of words is cut off"; the *Mahāprajñāpāramitā Sūtra* says, "the path of mind and speech is severed"—all these explain "inconceivable." In ancient times, the chapter title was manifested in terms of scattering flowers; here, witnessing divine transformations is called "inconceivable"; each relies on one meaning, and they do not conflict. In explaining the text itself, the text is divided into three sections: 1. the great assembly scatters flowers, 2. the Buddha manifests divine transformations, 3. obtaining benefits from hearing the Dharma. In the first part, scattering flowers, the text is divided into three: first, the great assembly rejoices; next, scattering flowers in offering; finally, the kings and others make vows. First, the great assembly rejoices. What is its meaning?
