法華義疏 6.88

6.88

上總譬有六義，今不頌一門及三十子，但頌化主、化處、五百人及化意，頌此四義轉勢說法，宜開文為六：一、明宅主；二、序宅相；三、明宅中之人；四、辨宅有毒害；五、明宅有火災；六、總結宅過患。宅主者，所謂佛也。宅相者，三界無常、無我、不淨也。宅中人者，五道眾生也。宅有毒害者，三界煩惱能害法身慧命也。宅有火災者，三界諸苦燒眾生也。總結過患者，具上諸惡，則三界是大過患，令物厭之而求出也。

Above, the comprehensive parable had six meanings; now, it does not versify the single door and the thirty children, but only versifies the master of conversion, the place of conversion, the five hundred people, and the intention of conversion. Versifying these four meanings shifts the rhetorical phrasing to expound the Dharma, and the text should properly be divided into six: first, clarifying the master of the house; second, recounting the features of the house; third, clarifying the people within the house; fourth, discerning that the house has toxic perils; fifth, clarifying that the house has the disaster of fire; sixth, comprehensively concluding the faults and perils of the house. The master of the house is the Buddha. The features of the house are the impermanence, non-self, and impurity of the three realms. The people within the house are the sentient beings of the five destinies. The house having toxic perils means that the afflictions of the three realms can harm the dharmakāya and the life of wisdom. The house having the disaster of fire means that the various sufferings of the three realms burn sentient beings. Comprehensively concluding the faults and perils means that being endowed with all the evils above, the three realms are a great fault and peril, causing beings to loathe them and seek escape.
