金剛三昧經論 1.11

1.11

自下第四科文解釋。文有三分：一者序分；二者第二品下六品餘文是正說分；三者〈入總持品〉「爾時如來而告眾言」已下二紙許文是流通分。序分之內有二種序，謂通與別。通序之中即有六事，前三明親承之傳、後三證大師之說。言前三者，一如是、二我聞、三一時。後三是何？一教主、二住處、三徒眾。徒眾之內序四類眾，一聲聞眾、二菩薩眾、三長者眾、四雜類眾。於中委悉，如常所說。

From here below is the fourth section, analyzing and explaining the text. The text has three sections:
First is the prologue section;
Second, from the second chapter through the remaining text of the other six chapters, is the main discourse section;
Third, from "At that time the Tathāgata addressed the assembly, saying" in the Chapter on Entering Dhāraṇī onward for about two sheets of text, is the dissemination section.
Within the prologue section there are two kinds of prologues: general and specific. Within the general prologue there are six items: the first three clarify direct reception from transmission, and the latter three authenticate the teaching of the Great Master. As for the first three: first, "Thus"; second, "have I heard"; third, "at one time." What are the latter three? First, the Teacher; second, the dwelling place; third, the assembly of disciples. Within the assembly of disciples, four classes of assemblies are introduced: first, the assembly of śrāvakas; second, the assembly of bodhisattvas; third, the assembly of elders; fourth, the miscellaneous assembly. The details therein are as commonly explained.
