妙法蓮華經玄贊 7.11

7.11

The Commentary says: The second is that his assets and wealth were exceedingly vast. Building residences means generating a mind of loving-kindness and compassion; erecting houses means revealing the superior meaning of emptiness. Alternatively, ‘building’ means generating; a ‘house’ is indeed a residence, referring to the mind of loving-kindness and compassion. The ‘five desires’ are five kinds of pleasure, or the five dharmas such as the pure dharmadhātu. ‘Enjoying’ means taking delight. A ‘royal palanquin’ is the ultimate truth, ridden solely by the Dharma King; a ‘carriage’ is the conventional truth, ridden together by the multitudes, because superior and inferior differ. ‘Vehicles’ are the five vehicles. ‘Fields and estates’ are knowledge and eradication. The remaining text can be understood.
