法華義疏 10.56

10.56

「又文殊」下，第四、慈悲行。前長行，次偈。長行為二：初明行體，次辨行果。行體為二：前明於學大乘人中起慈心，令其速悟得佛樂；次明於學小乘人起大悲心，欲拔其執小之迷令速離苦也。「應作是念」下，出可悲事，「不聞不知不覺」者，執小為究竟，初不曾聞小是方便，非但不聞，意亦不知小是權說，非但不知亦都不覺。又言，不聞謂無大乘聞慧，不知明無思慧，不覺明無修慧。「不問不信不解」者，非但執小不聞於大，住增上慢亦不訪問學大乘人求其權實，學大乘人設為人說亦不信受，非但不受，小執既深在根又鈍，故不能解悟也。

From “Furthermore, Mañjuśrī” downward is the fourth [practice], the practice of loving-kindness and compassion. First the prose, and next the verses. The prose has two parts: first it clarifies the essence of the practice, and next it distinguishes the fruit of the practice. The essence of the practice has two parts: first it clarifies giving rise to a mind of loving-kindness toward those studying the Mahāyāna, causing them to awaken quickly and obtain the bliss of buddhahood; next it clarifies giving rise to a mind of great compassion toward those studying the Hīnayāna, desiring to pull out their delusion of clinging to the small and cause them quickly to leave suffering behind. From “One should form this thought” downward sets forth the pitiable state: regarding “Not hearing, not knowing, and not being aware”, they cling to the small as ultimate, having never heard from the beginning that the small is an expedient means; not only do they not hear it, in their minds they also do not know that the small is a provisional teaching; not only do they not know, they are entirely unaware. Furthermore, it is said that “not hearing” means lacking the wisdom of hearing the Mahāyāna, “not knowing” clarifies lacking the wisdom of contemplation, and “not being aware” clarifies lacking the wisdom of cultivation. Regarding “Not asking, not having faith, and not understanding”: not only do they cling to the small and not hear the great, but abiding in overweening pride, they also do not inquire of those studying the Mahāyāna to seek what is provisional and what is real; and even if someone studying the Mahāyāna preaches to them, they do not have faith and accept it; not only do they not accept it, but because their clinging to the small is deep and their faculties are dull, they are unable to understand and awaken.
