大般涅槃經集解 5.66

5.66

案道生曰：此譬不說佛是有為，必以成無為義也。僧亮曰：秉常解以求佛，譬遠行也。法瑤曰：前譬護法者顯揚無為，此譬隱覆有為也。始解未深，去佛懸遠，譬遠行也。僧宗曰：請門第五段也。

Daosheng comments: This allegory shows that by not saying the Buddha is conditioned, one will certainly accomplish the meaning of unconditioned. Sengliang says: Holding the understanding of permanence to seek buddhahood is allegorized as traveling far. Fayao says: The previous allegory of the Dharma-protector revealed the unconditioned; this allegory conceals the conditioned. When initial understanding is not yet deep and one is far removed from the Buddha, it is allegorized as traveling far. Sengzong says: This is the fifth section of the inquiry section.
