妙法蓮華經玄贊 6.381

6.381

贊曰：四合化以二乘。有二：初依佛語得之不多，後敘小情遂以為足。此初也。「思惟」者，思修諦觀。「蠲」亦除也。蠲除戲糞斷煩惱障，勤加精進多劫專心，得至涅槃。「一日價」者，所獲不多。大涅槃體三大劫得，名無數價；今六十劫即得解脫，豈非涅槃一日之價。又大涅槃三事圓滿，名無數價。今乃唯得解脫，不得大慧法身；解脫之中唯得惑障解脫，不得智障解脫；唯得離分段生死解脫，非得離所知障及變易解脫，豈非涅槃一日之價。涅槃之體即解脫故。

The commentary says: Fourth, matching the conversion through the two vehicles. It has two parts: first, obtaining little by relying on the Buddha's words; second, recounting the lesser mindset that consequently took this as sufficient. This is the first part. "Contemplate" means to reflectively cultivate the contemplation of the truths. "Jian" (蠲) also means to remove. Removing the play and dung means cutting off the cognitive afflictive obstacles; exerting diligent vigor and concentrating the mind over many kalpas, one succeeds in arriving at nirvāṇa. "The wage of a single day" means that what was obtained was not much. The substance of great nirvāṇa is attained after three great kalpas and is called of immeasurable price; now attaining liberation in sixty kalpas, how could this not be the wage of a single day of nirvāṇa? Furthermore, great nirvāṇa is fulfilled in three qualities and is called of immeasurable price; now they only obtain liberation and do not obtain great wisdom or the Dharma-body; within liberation, they only obtain liberation from afflictive obstacles, not liberation from obstacles to omniscience; they only obtain liberation from fragmented birth and death, not liberation from cognitive obstacles and transformative change. How could this not be the wage of a single day of nirvāṇa? For the substance of nirvāṇa is liberation.
