1.4

經「如是我聞」。贊曰：初釋經文略以六門料簡：一敘經起之意，二明經之宗旨，三解經品得名，四顯經品廢立，五彰品之次第，六釋經之本文。

The sūtra says: "Thus have I heard." Commentary: In explaining the text of the sūtra at the outset, it is analyzed in brief through six headings: first, recounting the intention behind the sūtra's origination; second, clarifying the main theme of the sūtra; third, explaining the derivation of the names of the sūtra's chapters; fourth, revealing the rejection and establishment of the sūtra's chapters; fifth, demonstrating the sequence of the chapters; sixth, interpreting the primary text of the sūtra.
