法華經義記 8.10

8.10

「譬如強力」此下十行半是第二，即頌第二安樂相。上有二：一者正明安樂，其中本有二，一者人愛，二者天護，今者都不頌也。第二即釋明安樂之義，亦有二，第一是法說，其中有二，一者諸佛密藏，二者據得法之人，今者亦不頌也，唯頌第二譬說。但上兩譬各有開有合，今此十行半只宜分為二：第一有四行先牒頌兩家外譬，第二「如來亦爾」下有六行半，即牒頌兩家內合，初四行之中三行頌第一外譬，「如有勇徤」下一行即頌第二外譬也。後六行半中，初「如來亦爾」下三行頌第一譬內合，次「既知眾生得其力已」即有三行，即頌第二譬內合也。「我滅度後」但佛答中有四段，此下一行半是第三總結，勸修此四安樂行也。

"Just as a powerful [wheel-turning sage king]": from here down, the ten and a half lines are the second [part], which versifies the second [section], the marks of ease and happiness. Above there were two: first, directly explaining ease and happiness, wherein originally were two—first, love by human beings, and second, protection by devas—which now are not versified at all. Second, directly explaining the meaning of ease and happiness, which also had two: first, the exposition by dharma, wherein were two—first, the secret treasury of all Buddhas, and second, based upon the person who attains the Dharma—which now are also not versified, versifying only the second, the exposition by parable. But the two parables above each had an unfolding and an application; now these ten and a half lines should only be divided into two: first, there are four lines that first cite and versify the external parables of both cases; second, from "The Tathāgata is also like this" down, there are six and a half lines that cite and versify the internal applications of both cases. Within the first four lines, three lines versify the first external parable, and the one line from "If there is one who is valiant and robust" down versifies the second external parable. Within the latter six and a half lines, the first three lines from "The Tathāgata is also like this" down versify the internal application of the first parable; next, "Having known that sentient beings have obtained their power" has three lines, which versify the internal application of the second parable. "After my passing into extinction": within the Buddha's answer there are four sections; this one and a half lines down is the third, summarily concluding and exhorting the cultivation of these four practices of ease and happiness.
