妙法蓮華經玄贊 8.11

8.11

贊曰：此中有二：商主諳途方行引導也。「導師」謂佛，此具五德：一聰性利根故，二慧擇是非故，三明鑒真俗故，四達無不知故，五善知險道通塞之相。「道」謂諸趣。「通」謂斷五住。「塞」謂起二障。惑、業有而為塞，苦因盡而為通。方行引導，文意可知。

The Commentary says: In this there are two: the merchant leader understands the route, and [then] sets out to guide them. "Guide" refers to the Buddha, who is endowed with five virtues: first, his clever nature and keen faculties; second, his discernment that selects between right and wrong; third, his clear perception that mirrors both the ultimate and the conventional; fourth, his penetrating comprehension by which nothing is unknown; and fifth, his skill in knowing the conditions of passage and obstruction along perilous paths. "Paths" refers to the various destinies. "Passage" refers to severing the five dwellings. "Obstruction" refers to giving rise to the two hindrances. When affliction and karma are present, there is obstruction; when the causes of suffering are exhausted, there is passage. As for setting out to guide them, the meaning of the text is understandable.
