1.44

經曰「顯明清白」至「宣流正化」者，述云：此第四、結弘正也。除邪顯正，故云顯明。超諸毀傍，故云清白。即嚴護法城也。光，廣也。融，通也。廣通聖行，故云光融佛法。導化不絕，故云宣流。法化，即開闡法門也。總而言之，嚴法城故顯明，護法城故清白，開法門故光融，闡法門故宣流。

The sūtra says: from "manifesting clarity and purity" up to "proclaiming and spreading the orthodox transformation." The commentary states: This fourth part concludes the propagation of the orthodox. Removing the heterodox and manifesting the orthodox, it is called 'manifesting'. Transcending all slander, it is called 'clarity and purity'; this is sternly guarding the Dharma citadel. 'Radiant' (光) means extensive; 'harmonious' (融) means unimpeded. Extensively harmonizing the noble practices, it is called 'radiantly harmonizing the Buddhadharma'. Guiding and transforming without interruption, it is called 'proclaiming and spreading'; 'Dharma transformation' is opening and clarifying the Dharma gate. In summary: sternly [adorning] the Dharma citadel, it is manifested; guarding the Dharma citadel, it is pure and white; opening the Dharma gate, it is radiantly harmonious; clarifying the Dharma gate, it is proclaimed and spread.
