法華義疏 11.162

11.162

偈文為二：初、頌現神通意；次、頌勸修。現神通力為三：初偈，明為益現在十方眾生故現神力；次、兩偈，正頌現神力；第三、一偈，為利未來眾生故現神力。「囑累是經故」下，第二、頌獎勸，又開二別：第一、稱歎；第二、勸持。初稱歎凡有七門：初兩偈，頌功德無邊歎；次一偈半，得見諸佛歎；次兩偈，諸佛歡喜歎；次一偈，不久得佛歎；次一偈半，得四無礙歎；次一偈，得經旨趣門嘆；次一偈半，滅惑生解嘆。持《法華經》人得此七種果。第二、勸持，如文。

The verse passage has two parts: first, versifying the intent of manifesting the supernatural powers; next, versifying the exhortation to cultivate. The manifestation of the supernatural powers has three parts: the first verse explains manifesting supernatural powers to benefit present sentient beings of the ten directions; the next two verses properly versify manifesting supernatural powers; the third is one verse, manifesting supernatural powers to benefit future sentient beings. From "Because of entrusting this sūtra" downward is the second part, versifying the encouragement and exhortation, which also divides into two: first, praising; second, urging upholding. The initial praise has altogether seven portals: the first two verses versify the praise of boundless merit; the next one and a half verses, the praise of getting to see the Buddhas; the next two verses, the praise of the Buddhas' rejoicing; the next one verse, the praise of soon attaining buddhahood; the next one and a half verses, the praise of obtaining the four unimpeded knowledges; the next one verse, the praise of the portal of grasping the purport of the sūtra; the next one and a half verses, the praise of eliminating delusion and generating understanding. One who upholds the Lotus Sūtra obtains these seven kinds of fruition. The second part, urging upholding, is as in the text.
