法華經義記 7.71

7.71

From “I now tell you, Bhaiṣajyarāja” below is the second section within the chapter: above, having raised the merit and retribution to command and seek people to propagate the sūtra, from here below is the second section, raising the rules for propagating the sūtra to command and take people to propagate the sūtra. Within this there are also two sections, namely the prose and the verses forming two. In the prose there are naturally three sections: first, from “I now tell you, Bhaiṣajyarāja” below up to “you should know that they are people of overweening pride”, first praising this sūtra; second, from “Good man or good woman, if after the Tathāgata’s extinction one wishes to preach for the assembly, how should one preach?” below, directly clarifying the rules for propagating the sūtra; third, from “Bhaiṣajyarāja, I, from other lands, will dispatch transformed people…” below to the end of the prose, encouraging and exhorting the people who propagate the sūtra.
