觀音義疏 1.83

1.83

難處者，先明處，即是大千國土。次明難，即滿中怨賊。滿中，假設之辭也。國曠賊多，聖力能救，顯功之至也。怨者，此難重也。賊本求財，怨本奪命，今怨為賊，必財命兩圖。若過去流血名怨、現在奪財名賊，如此怨賊遍滿大千尚能護之，輕者豈不能救也？

As for the place of peril: first, explaining the place, which is the trichiliocosm lands. Next, explaining the peril, which is being filled with hateful bandits. 'Filled with' is hypothetical phrasing. The lands being vast and the bandits numerous, yet the holy power being able to rescue, manifests the utmost of efficacy. 'Hateful' means this peril is severe. Bandits originally seek wealth; enemies originally take life. Now, being hateful bandits, they surely seek both wealth and life. If past shedding of blood is called hatred, and present seizing of wealth is called banditry, if one can still protect against such hateful bandits filling the trichiliocosm, how could one fail to rescue in lesser matters?
