妙法蓮華經玄贊 7.93

7.93

贊曰：下六頌半明所難報事。於中有三：初二頌半總明佛能為下劣事，於取相凡夫能隨宜為說；次二頌能知欲樂及勝解而為說法；後二頌能知根熟未熟為說三乘。此初也。藏報身之實德、顯化相之權形，隱妙理之玄宗、揚麁義之疎教，不居淨土、處此穢方隨逐凡夫，豈非難報。

Commentary: The six and a half verses below explain the matters that are difficult to repay. Within this there are three parts: first, two and a half verses generally explain that the Buddha is able to perform inferior deeds and is able to expound in accordance with what is fitting for ordinary beings who grasp at signs; next, two verses on being able to know desires, delights, and resolute faith, and expounding the Dharma for them; finally, two verses on being able to know whether faculties are mature or immature and expounding the three vehicles for them. This is the first. Concealing the real virtues of the reward body, revealing the provisional form of the transformation appearance, hiding the profound principle of the wondrous tenets, setting forth the coarse doctrines of the broad teachings, not dwelling in the pure land, and abiding in this defiled quarter to follow along with ordinary beings—how could this not be difficult to repay?
