大般涅槃經集解 15.89

15.89

案寶亮曰：合譬也，明向者小乘。深山王者，受四依化，亦遂成菩薩也。仍復廣說。昔為小乘，不肯在眾共受持者，止為名聞利養故也。下列五句，一以利養。二為稱譽。三為解法、即是欲勝他故。四為依止，要人歸附也。五為貿易其餘經者，須更博悉，然後乃與。皆是障法因緣，自非四依，云何能化耶？

Baoliang comments: Applying the simile, it clarifies that the former Small Vehicle king of the deep mountains, upon receiving conversion from the four refuges, also eventually becomes a bodhisattva. It goes on to expound extensively: in the past, as followers of the Small Vehicle, they were unwilling to accept and uphold it together among the assembly merely for the sake of fame and material gain. Five clauses are listed below: first, for material gain; second, for praise and reputation; third, to understand the Dharma—that is, wishing to surpass others; fourth, to be a refuge, wanting people to take allegiance to them; fifth, to trade for other sūtras, requiring broader acquaintance before giving it. These are all conditions that obstruct the Dharma; if not for the four refuges, how could they convert them?
