大般涅槃經集解 43.38

43.38

案僧亮曰：雖蒙遠光，身病得除；聞此經語，懼不敢往也。將無陷入地者，若違經見佛，恐交致此苦也。我觀如來者，向引經語，此以情推也。僧宗曰：雖蒙光照，猶以善惡事隔，且慚愧在顏，不欲去也。

Sengliang notes: Although he received the distant light and his physical illness was removed, hearing these words of the sūtras, he was afraid and did not dare to go. 'Lest I sink into the earth' means that if he went against the sūtras to see the Buddha, he feared directly bringing about this suffering. 'As I view the Tathāgata' follows the earlier citation of sūtra words, deducing this by reasoning. Sengzong says: Although illuminated by the light, he is still separated by matters of good and evil, and moreover, with shame on his face, he does not wish to go.
