法華經義記 3.53

3.53

第二「舍利弗當知」此下有二十七行半，頌上第三舉五濁釋先三後一義。既分作八段，故「舍利弗當知」以下四偈是十法說之第二，此間詺為佛見所化眾生為五濁所惛，則為下火宅中第二長者見火譬作本，下言「長者見是大火從四面起」下是。今就此十四行偈中自有三段：第一半行明能見，第二三行出所見，第三半行明起悲愍之心。今言「舍利弗當知我以佛眼觀」此半偈是第一明能見，佛在法身地見所化眾生為五濁所惛也。「見六道眾生」下有三行偈，第二出所見，即是五濁見六道眾生貧窮無福慧，此半偈出眾生濁也。「入生死嶮道」下半偈明命濁也。「深著於五欲」下一行半偏舉貪使明煩惱濁也。「深入諸邪見」下半偈明見濁也。略不出劫濁，劫濁更無別體，四濁為時節，節是劫濁也。「為是眾生故而起大悲心」此半偈是第三明能見見所見起悲愍，明如來欲化眾生也。

Second, from "Śāriputra, you should know" downward, there are twenty-seven and a half verses versifying the third topic above, citing the five turbidities to explain the rationale of first the three and then the One. Having been divided into eight sections, the four verses from "Śāriputra, you should know" downward are the second of the ten expositions by dharma, designated here as the Buddha seeing the beings to be transformed blinded by the five turbidities, which then serves as the basis for the second parable in the burning house below, the elder seeing the fire, as below it says: "The elder saw this great fire break out from all four directions," and so forth. Now, within these fourteen lines of verse, there are themselves three sections: first, half a line explains that which can see; second, three verses present that which is seen; third, half a line explains the arising of a mind of pity and compassion. Now, "Śāriputra, you should know that with the Buddha-eye I observe": this half verse is the first, explaining that which can see—the Buddha on the plane of the Dharma Body seeing the beings to be transformed blinded by the five turbidities. From "Seeing beings in the six destinies" downward, there are three verses, the second, presenting that which is seen, which is the five turbidities: "Seeing beings in the six destinies, impoverished and lacking merit and wisdom"—this half verse presents the turbidity of beings. From "Entering the perilous paths of birth and death" downward, half a verse explains the turbidity of life-span. From "Deeply attached to the five desires" downward, one and a half verses specifically cite the propensity of greed to explain the turbidity of defilement. From "Deeply entering into various wrong views" downward, half a verse explains the turbidity of views. It briefly omits and does not present the turbidity of the kalpa: the turbidity of the kalpa has no separate substance of its own; the four turbidities constitute the season and period, and this period is the turbidity of the kalpa. "For the sake of these beings, I give rise to a mind of great compassion": this half verse is the third, explaining that which can see seeing that which is seen and giving rise to pity and compassion, explaining the Tathāgata's wish to transform beings.
