妙法蓮華經玄贊 6.144

6.144

贊曰：下七頌半顯昔權。中有二：初六頌明權四諦，後一頌半釋得權處。初文有四：二頌苦諦，一頌半集諦，一頌半滅諦，一頌道諦。此初也。「深著愛欲」者，所愛內身、所欲外境皆苦諦故。初頌說苦諦，意不棄世諦而入真諦故。後頌眾生歡喜，故得入聖得未曾有。「真實無異」釋苦是諦，諦是實義。《遺教經》言：「佛說苦諦，不可令樂，是實苦故。」

Commentary: The following seven and a half verses reveal the past provisional. There are two parts: first, six verses clarify the provisional four truths; later, one and a half verses explain the place where the provisional is attained. The first text has four: two verses on the truth of suffering, one and a half verses on the truth of origination, one and a half verses on the truth of cessation, and one verse on the truth of the path. This is the first. “Deeply attached to love and desire”: the internal body that is loved and the external objects that are desired are both the truth of suffering. The first verse expounds the truth of suffering, with the intention not of abandoning conventional truth, but of entering absolute truth. The subsequent verse [states that] sentient beings rejoice, thereby entering into sagehood and attaining what was never had before. “True and real without divergence” explains that suffering is a truth, “truth” meaning real. The Sutra of the Buddha's Bequeathed Teaching says: “The Buddha taught the truth of suffering; it cannot be made into pleasure, for it is real suffering.”
