仁王護國般若波羅蜜多經疏 2.592

2.592

Exposition: Asking about written words. It corresponds to the passage below 'illuminating contemplation' in the 'Tathāgata Chapter'. 'All buddhas of the ten directions' indicates those who have already cultivated. 'All bodhisattvas' indicates those currently cultivating. From 'How' downward, he asks about the Dharma practiced. Regarding 'without leaving behind written words': how is it not leaving [them] behind? Regarding 'practice the real mark': how does one cultivate and practice the real mark? From here, the second part is the Tathāgata's correct answer. Within this there are two parts: first, specifically answering cultivation; later, concluding the fruit of protection, and so on. In the first part, specifically answering, the text is divided into three: 1. clarifying the characteristics of written words; 2. clarifying the cultivation of the real mark; 3. eliminating the characteristics of written words. In the first, on written words, the text is again divided into three; first is generally identifying written words.
