妙法蓮華經玄贊 9.487

9.487

贊曰：六見佛咸欣喻。初喜、後請。「失本心」者，謂根未熟，失淨起染。「不失心」者，得本淨心，諸根熟類。「歡喜」意業、「禮拜」身業、「問訊」語業，三業歸依，請說法要。「更賜壽命」，今乞慧壽。

The Commentary says: The sixth is the parable of seeing the Buddha and all rejoicing. First is rejoicing, then entreating. "Having lost their original minds" refers to those whose faculties are not yet mature: losing purity and giving rise to defilement. "Those who have not lost their minds" refers to those who have attained their original pure mind: those whose faculties are mature. "Rejoicing" is physical mental action; "prostrating" is bodily action; "inquiring" is verbal action. Taking refuge through the three actions, they entreat him to teach the essentials of the Dharma. "Grant us life once more" means now begging for the life of wisdom.
