妙法蓮華經玄贊 10.466

10.466

贊曰：下第二與現益。有三：初明三品修與益異；二「若法華經行閻浮提」下，明經行於世是普賢力；三「若有受持讀誦等」下，能行之者與普賢行合。初文之中，初下品受持為護；次「是人若行」下，中品受持為護；後「世尊若後世」下，上品受持為護。此初。有二：初標一切惡法惡人不得其便，後別明十二非人亦不得便。「伺」音相吏反，《玉篇》「[口/└/日]釐反，奄也候也」。「𨶳」覘，「伺」視也。

Eulogy: Below is the second section, granting present benefits. It has three parts: first, clarifying that the three grades of practice differ in their benefits; second, beginning from 'If the Lotus Sūtra proceeds in Jambudvīpa', clarifying that the circulation of the sūtra in the world is due to Samantabhadra's power; third, beginning from 'If there are those who receive, uphold, read, recite, etc.', showing that the practitioner merges with Samantabhadra's practice. In the first text: first, protecting those of lower-grade receiving and upholding; next, beginning from 'If this person walks', protecting those of middle-grade receiving and upholding; and finally, beginning from 'Bhagavat, if in later times', protecting those of upper-grade receiving and upholding. This is the first. It has two parts: first stating that all evil dharmas and evil people will find no opportunity, and next specifically clarifying that the twelve classes of non-humans will also find no opportunity. The word ci [伺] is pronounced with the fanqie xiang-li; the Yupian says: '[variant pronunciation], meaning suddenly or to watch for'. Chan [𨶳] means to spy on; ci [伺] means to watch.
