法華義疏 10.51

10.51

偈頌上二章，即為二別，但轉勢說法。又逐近頌之。前六行半，頌於集德；次有五行，頌於離過。初又三別：二行半，明淨於內外，為說法方便；次有兩行，正示說法之方；次有二偈，示答難之能。弘法之人唯此三事，故具陳之也。「除嬾惰意」者，第二、頌上離過。五偈二雙：初一行，誡令勿懈怠；次一行半，勸使懃精進。都不肯說為嬾惰，數數停息為懈怠。又不懃於事為嬾惰，不堅於理為懈怠也。次一偈，誡說法之人勿悕外財；次一偈半，勸內心念法。

The verses verse the two preceding sections, thus comprising two distinct parts, merely shifting the presentation in preaching the Dharma. Furthermore, they verse them following the sequence closely. The first six verses and a half verse the gathering of virtues; the next five verses verse the leaving behind of faults. The first part also has three distinctions: two verses and a half clarify purifying the internal and external as the expedient means for preaching the Dharma; the next two verses directly show the method of preaching the Dharma; the next two verses show the ability to answer difficult questions. A person who propagates the Dharma has only these three tasks, and therefore they are fully set forth. Regarding “Ridding oneself of laziness and indolence”: this is the second [part], versing the leaving behind of faults mentioned above. The five verses form two pairs: the first verse admonishes against remissness; the next one verse and a half encourages diligent vigorous application. Not being willing to speak at all is laziness; stopping and resting frequently is remissness. Moreover, not being diligent in practical affairs is laziness, and not being steadfast in principle is remissness. The next verse admonishes the preacher of the Dharma not to yearn for external wealth; the next one verse and a half encourages the inner mind to be mindful of the Dharma.
