32.7

First, explaining the chapter title: As for why it is called "Chapter on Leaving the World," it clarifies that since the preceding chapter is titled "The Tathāgata's Appearance," in this chapter one consequently attains leaving the world; hence it is named "Leaving the World." This has two meanings: In view of the master of the teaching preaching the doctrine to benefit sentient beings, it is a chapter of benefiting the world and ought to bear the name of benefiting. In view of sentient beings hearing the Dharma and dwelling in the world without defilement, it is the "Chapter on Leaving the World." This comprehensively explains it in terms of the two meanings of the master of the teaching and those who obtain the benefit.
