大般涅槃經集解 27.7

27.7

案僧宗曰：大分聖行可為六段。第一明戒、第二明定、第三明慧，此三段明體既竟，第四歎經、第五辨弘通、第六佛引昔日苦行為證也。寶亮曰：大判聖行，有四段：第一明戒、第二明定、第三明慧、第四歎經辨流通也。智秀曰：大分聖行中為兩段，第一至「無垢藏王」，正明聖行體；第二訖品，以行由經立，故歎經也。前已列五行名，此下辨聖行。行由經得，故顯聞經以為根本。

Sengzong states: The holy practice can be broadly divided into six sections. The first clarifies morality; the second clarifies concentration; the third clarifies wisdom. These three sections having concluded the clarification of the substance, the fourth praises the sūtra; the fifth distinguishes broad dissemination; the sixth is where the Buddha cites his past ascetic practices as verification. Baoliang states: Broadly determining the holy practice, there are four sections: the first clarifies morality; the second clarifies concentration; the third clarifies wisdom; the fourth praises the sūtra and distinguishes its circulation. Zhixiu states: Broadly divided, the holy practice contains two sections: the first, up to 'King of the Stainless Treasury', properly clarifies the substance of the holy practice; the second, down to the end of the chapter, because practice is established through the sūtra, praises the sūtra. Above, the names of the five practices have already been listed; from here onward, it distinguishes the holy practice. Since practice is attained through the sūtra, hearing the sūtra is manifested as the fundamental root.
