法華義疏 7.101

7.101

「覆以寶帳垂諸華幡」下，歎教門也。慈悲蔭覆為寶帳，然眾生斷結如長者拂塵，亦慈被眾生如帳蔭長者。四攝下垂喻如華幡，以禪定之水灑淨戒地，淹煩惱塵散智慧華，闡揚正法以示於人，如羅列寶物也。化從佛出故言出，化功歸佛故言內，前人稟道為取，如來授道為與。畏則為威、愛則為德。又折伏名威、攝受名德。人天無敵，故稱特尊也。

From "covered by a jeweled canopy, with various flower banners hanging down" onward, this praises the teaching gate. Compassion overshadowing and covering is the jeweled canopy; moreover, sentient beings severing bonds is like brushing away dust for the elder, and compassion covering sentient beings is also like the canopy overshadowing the elder. The four means of embracing hanging down are parabled by the flower banners. Sprinkling the ground of pure precepts with the water of dhyāna-meditation, laying the dust of afflictions, scattering the flowers of wisdom, and expounding the true Dharma to display it to others is like arranging precious items. Because conversion issues from the Buddha, it says "giving out"; because the merit of conversion returns to the Buddha, it says "taking in." When the former person receives the Way, it is "taking"; when the Tathāgata bestows the Way, it is "giving." Awe is majesty; love is virtue. Furthermore, subduing is called majesty, and embracing is called virtue. Unrivaled among humans and devas, he is therefore called uniquely honored.
