35.40

第一正入當位法門中，自「爾時」已下至「我唯知此菩薩隨順燈解脫門」，於此段中經文，義分為六門：一善財思惟菩薩所住行有、一十三種甚深、二漸次遊行至三眼國、三推覓善見比丘、四見在林中經行往返天龍恭敬、五善財頂敬申請所求、六善見比丘授與善財經行恒遍十方菩薩隨順燈解脫門。比丘號善見者，明此法眼、智眼、慧眼善見諸法，善見一切眾生根性，應時教化而令解脫故，號善見也。比丘者，此名滅諍，能化眾生煩惱見諍故名比丘。

In the first gate, properly entering the Dharma gate of the present stage, from 'At that time' down to 'I only know this bodhisattva liberation gate of the conforming lamp,' the text in this section is divided in meaning into six gates: 1. Sudhana contemplates the practices in which bodhisattvas abide, which have thirteen kinds of profound depth; 2. gradually traveling to the land of Three Eyes; 3. searching for Bhikṣu Sudarśana; 4. seeing him walking back and forth in the forest, reverently attended by devas and nāgas; 5. Sudhana bowing reverently and presenting his request; 6. Bhikṣu Sudarśana transmitting to Sudhana the bodhisattva liberation gate of the conforming lamp that constantly pervades the ten directions while walking. The bhikṣu is named Sudarśana ('Good Sight'), clarifying that with these Dharma eye, wisdom eye, and prajñā eye he well sees all phenomena and well sees the capacities and natures of all sentient beings, teaching and converting them in accordance with the time so as to cause them to attain liberation; hence he is named Sudarśana. 'Bhikṣu' here means 'quelling disputes,' for he is able to transform sentient beings' disputes arising from afflictions and views; hence he is called a bhikṣu.
