法華義疏 6.139

6.139

「復有諸鬼其身長大」下，第三，次明我見。次戒取後說我見者，就譬而言，初鬼俱害人獸，其過最重故初說之。次鬼不害人獸但怖於狗，故在第二。今此一鬼都不損人獸，可怖畏義微，故在第三。邪見撥因果其過最重故在第一，戒取立有因果但乖有漏法故居第二，身見不妨行施戒，復是隱沒無記法，比於戒取其過則輕，故居第三也。

From "There were also ghosts whose bodies were tall and large" downward is the third [section], next explaining the view of a self. The reason the view of a self is spoken of after clinging to rules and rituals is that, in terms of the parable, the first ghosts harmed both humans and beasts, their fault being the heaviest, and so were spoken of first. The second ghosts did not harm humans or beasts but merely terrified dogs, and so were placed second. Now these ghosts do not harm humans or beasts at all, and their frightening nature is slight, so they are placed third. Wrong view denies causes and effects, its fault being the heaviest, so it is first; clinging to rules and rituals posits causes and effects, merely violating defiled dharmas, so it occupies the second; the view of a self does not obstruct the practice of giving and precepts, and is moreover an obstructed neutral dharma; compared to clinging to rules and rituals its fault is lighter, so it occupies the third place.
