法華義疏 6.97

6.97

「鵄梟鵰鷲」下，第四、明宅內有惡物。經無別合，義既難明，今略以五門釋之：一、來意門；二、攝法門；三、次第門；四、同異門；五、約人門。來意門者，以宅中有此毒害故宅不可居。三界內有愛見煩惱，能害眾生法身慧命，宜起厭離疾求出也。二、攝法門者，毒害雖多不出二種：一者、顯現有形之物，謂怪鳥毒虫；二者、幽隱無形之物，謂夜叉惡鬼，為害之極唯在斯二。有形虫鳥譬三毒緣事煩惱，無形鬼神譬迷理諸見，害法身慧命唯有理事兩惑也。三、次第門者，

Second, the gate of subsuming phenomena: although the venomous harms are numerous, they do not exceed two kinds: first, visibly manifest things that have form, meaning strange birds and poisonous insects; second, hidden things that are formless, meaning yakṣas and evil demons. The extremity of doing harm lies only in these two. The insects and birds with form illustrate the afflictions of the three poisons directed toward conditioned affairs; the formless ghosts and spirits illustrate the various views bewildered about the principle. What harms the dharmakāya and wisdom-life are solely the two confusions of principle and affairs. Third, the gate of sequence:
