妙法蓮華經文句 10.112

10.112

別答為三：一、口機應，二、意機應，三、身機應。口又二：初、明七難，次、結。火難為四：一、持名是善，二、遭火是惡，三、應，四、結。於一難中例為三番：一、果報火，地獄已上初禪已還皆論機應；二、惡業火，地獄已上非想已還皆論機應；三、煩惱火，地獄已上等覺已還皆論機應。七難三毒二求例皆如此。此義既廣，可以意知不可文記。身機為二：初、二求，次、結。求男有立願修行德業，求女文略修行，正言禮拜是同，故略之；願業各異故重出之。結，如文。

The specific answer consists of three parts: first, the vocal capacity and response; second, the mental capacity and response; third, the physical capacity and response. The vocal also has two parts: first, explaining the seven perils; second, the conclusion. The peril of fire has four parts: first, upholding the name is good; second, encountering fire is evil; third, the response; fourth, the conclusion. Within a single peril, it is analogized into three turns: first, the fire of karmic retribution, wherein capacity and response are treated from the hells on up to the first dhyāna and below; second, the fire of evil karma, wherein capacity and response are treated from the hells on up to the sphere of neither-perception-nor-non-perception and below; third, the fire of afflictions, wherein capacity and response are treated from the hells on up to equal enlightenment and below. The seven perils, three poisons, and two quests are all analogous to this. This principle is extensive; it may be grasped conceptually and cannot be fully recorded in writing. The physical capacity has two parts: first, the two quests; second, the conclusion. In seeking a boy, there is the resolve and practice of virtuous deeds. In seeking a girl, the text abbreviates practice; it strictly says that bowing and paying homage are the same, hence it is abbreviated. Since the vows and deeds are each different, they are set forth again. The conclusion is as in the text.
