大般涅槃經集解 2.91

2.91

案僧亮曰：菩薩以濟物為懷。大乘既是良藥，故先明也。隨一切者，以法濟物，要須曲與物同，仁德廣被也。隨從有四：一形類、二語言、三根性、四事業也。作是誓者，既入五道，同彼苦樂。苦則心退、樂則生著，自非弘誓，無由兩捨也。僧宗曰：此歎現在德也。寶亮曰：菩薩，此言道心人也。歎德，不過自行之與外化。此中據三世為歎，於一世中皆具二義也。

Sengliang comments: Bodhisattvas take the salvation of beings to heart. Since the Mahāyāna is the good medicine, it is explained first. 'Following all' means that to save beings through the Dharma, one must bend to accommodate and conform with beings, extending benevolence and virtue widely. Following comprises four things: first, physical form; second, language; third, faculties; fourth, activities. Making this vow means that having entered the five destinies, they share their pain and pleasure. In pain the mind retreats, and in pleasure attachment arises; without a great vow, there would be no way to relinquish both. Sengzong says: This praises present virtues. Baoliang says: 'Bodhisattva' here means a person with the mind directed toward the Way. Praising virtue does not go beyond personal practice and outward conversion. Here the praise is based on the three times; within a single lifetime, both meanings are complete.
