法華經義記 8.3

8.3

次明第三行，此行以離惡為體，有兩段者，即是長行與偈為兩段也。今且就長行之中自有三段：第一正明離惡；第二「當於一切眾生」以下則明修善，若不修善無容離惡也；第三「文殊師利」以下明得果安樂之相也。今明離惡之中，凡離六種惡：一「嫉妬」也。二「諂」也，此人實能修善，只自所悅人情也。三「誑」也，此人內心無有實行也。四「亦勿輕罵學佛道者」也。五「若比丘、比丘尼」下五行是不輕小乘學也。六「又亦不應戲論諸法有所諍競」也。

Next, explaining the third practice: this practice takes departure from evil as its substance and has two sections, which are the two sections of the prose and the verse. Now, regarding the prose, within it there are themselves three sections: First, directly explaining departure from evil; second, from "Toward all sentient beings..." downward, explaining the cultivation of good, for if one does not cultivate good there is no way to depart from evil; third, from "Mañjuśrī..." downward, explaining the marks of the ease and comfort of attaining the fruit. Now, within the explanation of departure from evil, one departs from six kinds of evil in all: 1. "jealousy"; 2. "flattery"—this person can actually cultivate good, yet merely ingratiates himself with others' feelings; 3. "deceit"—in this person's mind there is no actual practice; 4. "also do not disparage or revile those who study the Buddha path"; 5. from "If monks and nuns..." downward, five lines are not disparaging those who study the Small Vehicle; 6. "moreover, one should also not engage in frivolous talk about dharmas so as to have disputes."
