法華經義記 6.34

6.34

From "The World-Honoured One's great kindness" below, the thirteen lines of verse are the second part of understanding within the direct expression of understanding, praising the Buddha's kindness as profound and difficult to repay "because it comes from the Buddha," in order to conclude the expression of understanding before. Within the direct expression of understanding there were three, which are the prose and the verses making two. Now within this there are two: first, there are six and a half lines of verse directly praising the Buddha's kindness as profound and difficult to repay; second, the six and a half lines from "The Buddhas are rare" set forth the aspects of the Buddha's kindness. Furthermore, within these two sections there are each two. The two within the first section: first, there is one line first clarifying the Buddha's kindness, which is opening the three to reveal the One. The five and a half lines from "Throughout immeasurable koṭis of kalpas" below clarify that none can repay it. Within this second part, there are three: first, half a line generally clarifies that none can repay it; second, the four lines below "Attending upon him with hands and feet" specifically clarify that worldly offerings cannot repay it; third, the one line below "Matters such as these" summarizes that none can repay it. The six and a half lines from "The Buddhas are rare" below clarify and set forth the aspects of the Buddha's kindness, which also have two: first, there are two lines clarifying the benefit of bodily action; second, there are four and a half lines clarifying the benefit of vocal action, which is the meaning of the two wisdoms—expedient and real—opening the three to reveal the One.
